I think he is ridiculously underrated, but I don’t think he is HoF material unfortunately.

I think he has HOF talent, just never had the help for a majority of his career. But ultimately no I don’t think he’s a HOFer.

Hall of Really Good

I’m hoping he’s going to get in through the long game… dabble into the GM world. Perhaps a bright future where the Yotes get the Tempe arena, a long pipeline of talent, and Doaner comes aboard and we get multiple cups. Gets into the HoF as a builder.

If Tkachuk and Roenick are not in then he won’t. Hall of Very Good.

He’s short of any notable benchmark. Give him 1000 pts, 500g or a Cup, and I think he makes it.
Hell I think if you give him back that missing 04 season, that half of season from the other lockout, and some of those games back from the Rocky Mountain Fever season, and I think he is pushing 450g, and 1200pts. You could maybe get convince folks to vote for him then. Still probably wouldn’t make it but you could have an argument.

Considering the kinds of people the Hall have let in already, like Kevin Lowe…then yeah, Doan should qualify for a Hall of Fame induction.
Doan’s goal total is ahead of guys like Dave Keon, Paul Coffey, Cam Neely, Martin St. Louis and Ted Lindsay, who all are in the Hall. He has 5 Olympic medals, as well, and is 18th all time in games played. About the only knock against him is “no Cups”, but Alfredsson and the Sedins show plain as day you can make it to the Hall without any Cup rings.

Unfortunately not. AZ sports hall of fame? Absolutely. He was my sports hero growing up, but as others have said, more of a “Hall of Very Good” than Hall of Fame kinda guy

Nope. Hella good player but that’s it

Absolutely not. He was really good, but with all due respect, I don’t think he’d even sniff the HOF.

I think a lot of sports would benefit from having two sides to a hall of fame. On one side is the pure hall of fame, the guys who were heads and tails better than their peers, with the stats, longevity, and careers that are reasonably indisputable.
The other side should be more of an “impact on the game” side. Guys who maybe don’t have the straight counting stats, but have an obvious fan appreciation, and are essentially universally liked. Doan would make it into this type of thing no problem, and undoubtedly deserves it, but as a pure hall of fame guy? Probably not

100% Jersey retirement, if that hasn’t already happened, but not HoF. Man, this made me emotional about the Kings – Coyotes WCF in 2012 all over again
