I won't even consider anyone who has played less than 5 years in the league, because they have not proven themselves. Crosby and Ovechkin have, and they are both HHOF-bound, but for discussion's sake, let's exclude them. Only players who played in the league prior to the lockout, because that is a decent enough sample size to at least talk about their chances at the HHOF.
Mortal Locks:
Chris Pronger
Nicklas Lidstrom
Joe Thornton
Teemu Selanne
Mike Modano
Mark Recchi
Martin Brodeur (Oops)
Okay, aside from those 6, there are no obvious locks. I think Jarome Iginla is the closest to that group. He will definitely make the HHOF with 2-3 more good years.
Datsyuk?
Zetterberg?
St. Louis?
Alfredsson?
Hossa?
Kovalchuk?
Heatley?
