This will not be lost on the league's voting powers.

Names like Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Sawchuk, Hull, Lemieux....Bondra? I think he was a great player and a great Cap. I think a retired number with Caps and maybe DC or Caps Hall of Fame. But not Hockey HOF. He never put up the numbers these guys did. So he scored 50 goals twice which is great. But never among top pt leaders in the league Never put up 100 pts. Even years when Lemieux and Jagr put up 161 and 149 respectivly, Bondra had 80. I do think there are other players that deserve it more.

Also does leading the league twice in goals (the second time tied with Teemu). Too bad the Richard trophy come into being the following season. Playing in Washington will definitely hurt though, because so many voters will be unfamiliar with his career beyond looking up stats.

Yes. But in actuality I think he's a longshot. I hope I'm wrong though. Should he, in my opinion? Yes. But in actuality I think he’s a longshot. I hope I’m wrong though.
