He also lives in Cherry Hills Colorado which I have never heard of. I had to look it up and now I know why I've never heard of it. It takes $200K plus a year to live there.
Here's a good list with 1000 point getters

Sedin's are borderline. I'd guess their character/goodwill gets them in (opposite of Theo) plus the Hart, Lindsay and Art Ross for each is enough to just push them over the line. But they definitely should have to wait a few years for it to happen and if it doesn't happen I'll be okay with that as well. Like I said pretty borderline.
Agree. Their international play should also just get them in, but I could imagine a scenario whereby they just miss.
Geez, Mike Bossy's output given so few games played is impressive - almost got to 600 goals in under 800 games. Shame about the back problems. Never knew about his alleged rift with Gretz.
Quote:
Bossy has harboured some animosity towards Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers, stating that the Islanders got little recognition for their dynasty (1980–83) compared to the Canadiens (1976–79) or Oilers (1984–90). Bossy complained "I do a lot of promoting for how good [the Islanders] were...We never got one millionth of the recognition we should. We had a very low-key organization. They didn't want guys doing too much, because they thought the hockey might suffer. People don't talk about us in the first mention of great teams." [6] During Gretzky's interview with the New York Post in 1993, he praised Bossy as the best right-winger ever to play, saying that their scoring totals would have been even higher if the two had played together. (They nearly did; in the 1977 WHA Amateur Draft, Bossy was selected by the Indianapolis Racers, who one year later would become Gretzky's first pro team.) Bossy's response in the Post was not complimentary, as he pointed out that their playing styles were different, and also said that Trottier was the best centre in hockey. [7] Gretzky did not comment on that at the time; however, years later in his autobiography he reiterated that Bossy was a great player, but "I sure wouldn't want to ride in a cab with that guy."
