"The question of which current players around the NHL are going to be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame when their career is over, gets asked often. But when numbers get added to the equation and someone looks at the data, the potential candidates become clear -- and it just so happens that three current members of the Toronto Maple Leafs are in the conversation when that happens."
"Pidutti has created his own scoring system to determine which players should be involved and it makes sense. "PPS scores a player using six factors: Career (production); Pace (efficiency); Peak (best seven seasons); Playoffs (postseason games and Cup count); International (best-on-best events); and Award Shares (voting share of major awards)," Pidduti writes. "By having a score for each player in history, we can benchmark anyone against a Hall of Fame standard that evolves based on the number of players presently inducted.""
"So, instead of just looking at points and deciding that should be the benchmark, it takes multiple factors even outside of the NHL, into consideration. And that leaves us with three current Maple Leafs grading out as players who should be in the conversation Auston Matthews, John Tavares, and William Nylander in Hall of Fame conversation According to Pidutti's article, the three Maple Leafs who are at least included when mentioning this pot"
A scoring model called PPS evaluates NHL players using six factors: Career (production), Pace (efficiency), Peak (best seven seasons), Playoffs (postseason games and Cup count), International (best-on-best events), and Award Shares (voting share of major awards). The model benchmarks players against an evolving Hall of Fame standard derived from inducted players. Applying PPS to active players produces tiers from locks to borderline candidates. Three current Toronto Maple Leafs — Auston Matthews, John Tavares, and William Nylander — grade into the Hall of Fame conversation based on their production, peaks, playoff contributions, and international results under PPS criteria.
