It's likely safe to say that the following players will be inducted in 2009:
- Steve Yzerman
- Brett Hull
- Brian Leetch
- Luc Robitaille
However, looking ahead to 2010, who does everyone think will be inducted. In my small research it appears the following players are first year candidates:
- Matthew Barnaby
- Petr Bondra
- Sean Burke
- Eric Lindros
- Scott Mellanby
- Joe Nieuwendyk
- Mike Ricci
- Patrik Stefan
- Pierre Turgeon
Some carryovers from 2009 not to be inducted in their first year that could be inducted:
- Dave Andreychuk
- Alexander Mogilny
And my personal favourite holdover: Dino Ciccarelli, as well as Adam Oates, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Richter, Pavel Bure, Phil Housley, Theo Fleury, Tom Barrasso, Doug Gilmour, Pat Verbeek and Sergei Makarov to name a few
My guess is that Niewendyk is worthy of a first ballot induction. His career is simply too good not to. Andreychuk should likely get in during his second eligible year. I think (off-ice issues aside) that Dino Ciccarelli should get in with over 600 goals. Maybe not 2010, but he deserves to be in.
So if I've missed anyone going back a few more years let me know, but who does everyone think will get in, in 2010.
*If this has been discussed I apologize, but I did a search and it seems only 2009 has been discussed.
