The Case For

Roenick is among a group of players whose career numbers suggest the Hall of Fame when viewed from afar. Drafted 8th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks straight out of high school, Roenick had 1,213 points in 1,363 regular-season games while playing a tough-nosed style that also saw him collect 1,463 penalty minutes. In the playoffs, he collected an impressive 53 goals and 122 points in 154 games through his 18-year career. He had a stellar international career as a junior and won a silver medal with Team USA in Salt Lake City in 2002, collecting five points in six games on the way to the U.S. losing to Canada in the gold-medal game. He was also with the U.S. team that finished second at the 1991 Canada Cup and was named to the all-tournament team. Three times in his career, Roenick topped the 100-point mark and twice scored more than 50 goals. Always a fan favorite, Roenick was also highly regarded for his charitable and humanitarian work.
