Chicago Blackhawks: Top 10 Players in Team History Not in NHL Hall of Fame

The Chicago Blackhawks saw two more alumni reach the NHL Hall Of Fame as Ed Belfour and Doug Gilmour were selected for enshrinement later this year. In the coming seasons, there may be more additions to the 33 former Blackhawks who currently reside in the hall for their play of the ice.

Belfour, who spent eight seasons in the Windy City, was elected in his first year of eligibility. Will he be joined in the coming seasons by some of his teammates from his era?

Here are ten of the greatest Chicago Blackhawks, excluding active players, not currently in the Hall Of Fame. Some on this list may be elected in the future, while others will have to be content with a hallowed place in 'Hawks lore.

10. Troy Murray

Murray was one of two Blackhawks to win the Selke Trophy and spent 12 seasons in two stints with Chicago.

Murray's number may someday be in the rafters at the United Center, although it will be there thanks to fellow number 19 Jonathan Toews.

9. Bob Murray

Murray, now GM in Anaheim, played in a pair of All-Star games in his 15-season career in Chicago.

The long-time 'Hawks defenseman is tops in franchise history in games played on the blue line. He trails only Doug Wilson for top honors at the position in scoring.

The hall may not be extending an invite to Murray, but that doesn't negate his contributions to the franchise.

8. Kenny Wharram

Wharram was a mainstay on the 'Hawks top line through the 1960's, skating with Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull for much of the decade.

Wharram's career was cut short when he suffered a serious heart condition in training camp in 1969. At age 35, he was coming off of his best three point-scoring seasons.

Even so, he is in the top ten all-time in Chicago history in goals and is eleventh in points. Wharram played in two All-Star games (1961, 1968) and was a first-team All-Star after the 1963-64 and 1966-67 campaigns.

He also won the Lady Byng Trophy in 1963-64 and finished second in scoring with Mikita behind Hull. The trio of Hull, Mikita, and Wharram went 1-2-3 in scoring in 1966-67.

7. Pit Martin

Martin will hold a dubious place in team history, having been the player Chicago received in the Phil Esposito to Boston deal.

Regardless, Martin was a key member of the powerful 'Hawks of the early 1970's, playing in four All-Star games and winding up seventh all-time in scoring.

Despite being just 5'8" and 165 pounds, Martin was a rugged two-way center who scored 30 goals three times in a Chicago uniform.

6. Tony Amonte

A participant in five All-Star games, Amonte spent nine seasons with the Blackhawks. He had 268 goals in that span, good enough for sixth on the Blackhawks all-time list.

A 15-year NHL veteran, Amonte was elected to the U.S. Hockey Hall Of Fame in 2009.

5. Dennis Hull

The other Hull on the ice for the 'Hawks in the 60's, Dennis was pretty darn good.

He is obviously overshadowed by brother Bobby and nephew Brett, both NHL Hall Of Fame members, but the Silver Jet patrolled the Stadium ice for 13 seasons. He skated in five All-Star games and suited up for Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series.

Hull is fifth in goals scored with the 'Hawks, with a career-high of 40 in 1970-71.

4. Doug Wilson

Wilson, currently the GM of the San Jose Sharks, spent 14 of his 16 seasons in Chicago, where he won the 1980-81 Norris Trophy and appeared in six All-Star games.

Wilson followed his Norris season with a 39-goal, 85-point performance the following year. He is the top offensive blueliner in Blackhawks history, and his 779 point in the Indian head sweater places him fifth on Chicago's all-time list regardless of position.

3. Chris Chelios

Chelios should be a lock for enshrinement once he becomes eligible. Three Norris Trophies and 11 All-Star appearances attest to that fact.

Chelios was obtained for Hall Of Famer Denis Savard and spent nine of his 26 NHL seasons in Chicago. He is currently third all-time in points by a defensemen with the Blackhawks. Two of those Norris campaigns came in a 'Hawks sweater.

Chelios will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall Of Fame this year. A call from the NHL hall should also arrive.

2. Jeremy Roenick

Chicago's top pick in the 1988 draft played in the Indian head sweater in eight of his 20 NHL seasons. It was with the Blackhawks that he enjoyed his greatest production.

From 1990 to 1994, Roenick was among the game's elite, earning four-all star nods, three 100-point seasons and a pair of 50-goal campaigns.

Roenick helped lead Chicago to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1992 before the team traded him to Phoenix in 1996. He is seventh all-time in franchise history in goals and eighth in scoring.

Roenick totaled 1216 points in his career, good for fourth all-time for U.S.-born players, and played in nine All-Star games. He was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall Of Fame last year. He should become eligible for hall consideration in 2013.

1. Steve Larmer

Larmer is deserving of Hall of Fame accolades, but may have been passed over.

That's a shame as well as an injustice.

From 1982 to 1993, Larmer player in 884 consecutive games for the Blackhawks. The 1982-83 Calder Trophy recipient, Larmer was a constant at the top of the Chicago lineup.

Larmer is third in franchise history in goals and fourth in points. His plus/minus rating of plus-182 with Chicago make him the franchise leader in this category.

It's been 16 years since Larmer retired and it's hard to believe a iron man with over 1,000 NHL points doesn't have a spot in the Hall.
