208. Glen Wesley

Glen Wesley was a veteran of 20 years in the National Hockey League and with 1,457 Games Played is one of only a handful of players who tallied that many shifts and is not in the Hall of Fame.

Actually, he will never be seriously considered for it.

Don’t take that to mean that this was not a very good player as he was an All Star in 1989 who would score 537 Points and is a member of the 100 Point Share club.  Wesley would have four 40 Point Seasons, three top ten finished in Defensive Point Shares and late in his career would assist the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup in 2006.
