A very good defenseman from Slovakia, Lubomir Visnovsky, has showcased offensive flash, though not many of his market people outside appeared to be aware. Visnovsky finished 5 points shy of 500, still a good number for a defenseman, but that number and only one All-Star appearance aren’t likely to get him enshrined.

Should Lubomir Visnovsky be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 48.3%

Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 10.3%

Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 20.7%

No opinion. - 0%

No way! - 20.7%
