Jack Adams is listed as a Hall of Fame builder. He was inducted as a player. If he could be inducted in multiple categories he would almost definitely be inducted for his work with the Red Wings, but he isn't in as a builder, and never played for them. This list also has Brian Kilrea, Bud Poile, and Al Arbour listed as player inductees. They were inducted as builders. Most similar to Keith Allen and Murray Costello, who have notes saying that they played for the Red Wings, are acknowledged for their affiliation, but went in as builders despite never working for the team outside of their playing days. Your mileage may vary on Bud Poile there, he did some coaching for Red Wings minor league affiliates. 99.237.222.68 (talk) 12:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to bring this up at WP:HOCKEY, as I suspect there's a lot of these misplaced individuals, throughout the NHL team pages. GoodDay (talk) 13:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
