Mogilny misses out on 2020 HOF class

June 24, 2020

The Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2020 was announced on Wednesday, but it didn’t include Alexander Mogilny, who had a chance to be in it.

.@HockeyHallFame Class of 2020: Jarome Iginla, Marian Hossa, Kevin Lowe, Doug Wilson, Kim St. Pierre and Ken Holland (builder).

Mogilny will have to wait until 2021, at least.

Mogilny’s best span of his career came during his first six years, all of which were in Buffalo. He went on to have a 107-point season in Vancouver, and further in New Jersey and Toronto, but nothing will match the 76-goal year (in 77 games) he had in 1992-93.

He put up 127 points, 48 which came on the power play, en route to tying Teemu Selanne with 76 goals that season.

The rookie, Selanne, ended up with a higher point total at 132.

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
