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 this was not a very good player, as he was an All-Star in 1989, scoring 537 Points and is a member of the 100 Point Share club.  Wesley would have four 40 Point Seasons, three top-ten finishes in Defensive Points Shares in his career, and lead the Carolina Hurricanes in winning the Stanley Cup in 2006.
