Hey there Battlers of California, it's your former buddy and now sworn enemy (right?) James O'B. While Paul Kariya slummed it up in St. Louis, Nashville and (ugh) Colorado, I think we can all agree he was a Duck at heart [when he wasn't getting vehemently booed during every home game since he left the team ... *cough*].

Anyway, in case you haven't heard, Kariya won't play for the Ducks or anyone else during the 2010-11 season. On the heels of that sad news, I decided to ask PHT readers if they think his possibly-ended career is Hockey Hall of Fame worthy. I'd really appreciate if you voted in the poll and feel free to discuss the topic in the BoC/PHT comments to boot.

I'm particularly intrigued to hear if Earl Sleek thinks his (assumptive) childhood hero is HHOF-worthy. Do tell, folks, do tell.
