Whether or not you think Siebert belongs in the Hall of Fame has a lot to do with whether or not you believe the Professional Hockey Writers Association voters can be trusted when they voted him the Hart in 1937 and when they nearly gave him another in 1938. Was he the best defenceman in the league? Was he even the best defenceman on his own team? I have no way of knowing, but the only metrics I have to judge (point shares), say “no.”
