Is Marchand worthy of a spot in the Hall of Fame?

The Bruins forward has a large fanbase that supports him, but he also has a large amount of haters.

Despite a few unfortunate events that led to the 33-year-old becoming one of the most suspended players in NHL history, the fact is that Marchand has the stats and résumé to back up what has been a stellar career so far.

Whether you like him or not, the 2006 third-rounder has bloomed into a cornerstone player for the B's while also enjoying some international success.

Marchand has helped Canada to two gold medals at the World Juniors, to a World Championship and a World Cup title, and also led the Bruins to a Stanley Cup win in 2011.

Producing at a reasonable rate in the early portion of his career, Marchand flipped the switch offensively a few seasons ago and has become one of the NHL's top point producers.

At the time of this writing, Marchand has a career average of 0.91 points per game in the regular season, as well as a 0.81 point per game average in the playoffs.
