Even if the procedural elements of the HOHHOF aren't quite ironed up, it doesn't mean we cannot start working on the substance our Hall.
In this stage (and, if I might add, in this thread), the idea is to put together a list of ALL PLAYERS who spent a sizeable part of their career and who peaked prior to the merger of the NHL and the WHL.
This means there are two particular tasks to be made in this thread. First, round up EVERY PLAYER that MIGHT get A SINGLE vote in the Early Era voting rounds. Second, determine which players should be up for voting in the Early Era voting rounds, and which should be up for voting in the "Yearly Voting" (Later Era?) rounds.
I suggest that the voters who volunteered for this Era work this way :
- One single post per player. The name of the player should be put in the Title, for ease of reference. In this post, write whatever information you deem worthy. It doesn't necessary have to be "objective" (stats, awards) -- it can be subjective, whether it's some newspaper article about a guy, or just your opinion why a guy is worthy.
- Obviously, not all the posts will be about a specific player -- some might be about his likeliness to obtain a single vote, or more likely, about his relevance (or non-relevance) of his inclusion in the Earlier Era votings rounds. However, this stage isn't to explain why LOCK PLAYER A is a better induction than LOCK PLAYER B.
- There should be, at the VERY LEAST, 40 guys listed here (and hopefully more).
- Unless we (or I...) can be convinced otherwise, I suggest leaving out of this group players who played in Europe, even if they might have peaked prior to the merger.
If any of the guys that volunteed to work on this stage have any other ideas, feel free to suggest it!
