      Kane has won Hart, Ross, Lindsay, Smythe, Calder and 3 Cups. Only 2 players in NHL have ever done that. And he's the only one of those 2 to also be named NHL Top 100. He's the only player in NHL history to have OT goals to win the 2nd round, conference final, and Cup final. He's got the longest point streak of the last 30 years and 2 of the 7 20+ game streaks of the last 30 years. He led his prime decade in points and is currently 18th in NHL history in adjusted points.
      Kane of all American born players is currently 2nd in points (90 behind Modano in 269 fewer games), 2nd in assists (tied w Modano, 81 behind Housley in 265 fewer games), 6th in goals (90 behind Modano; 29 shy of 500), but SECOND in even strength goals, trailing only Modano, by 30. And already first all time among all Americans in even strength assists (ahead of Modano by 62) and even strength points (ahead of Modano by 32). You see, Pat Kane isn't a power play merchant. He's a 5v5 player.

    Kane, Lafontaine, Leclair, Hull and Mullen should be right there. And there is an entire generation of younger guys who might eventually push to be on that list. Matthews, Eichel, Hughes, the Tkachuks, Tage, Keller, JT Miller, Larkin, Pavelski, Patches, Debrincat, Terry, Zegras, Mcavoy, Wheeler, Boeser and Im sure Im missing some guys.

      Modano's numbers are pretty average looking for his era, he had 1 cup and no personal awards from what I remember, to me his induction to the hall was out of pity they just wanted to put an American in. By comparison look at Alex Mogilny, better player but not in the hall.
