Hopefully none. McDavid is likely to be the next Oiler in.

Andy Moog had more shutouts, more wins and less losses than Billy Smith in the regular season. Billy Smith had more wins and less losses than Andy Moog in the play-offs. Billy Smith never had any hall of fame worthy goaltending back-ups on his Stanley Cup winning teams. Grant Fuhr had Andy Moog. Billy Smith is in the hall of fame, and Andy Moog isn't yet, but will be soon.

If you want to convince that Moog is HOF goalie maybe you should try to build the case from outside of his Oilers years. He played more game as Bruins than Oilers (heck he had even significant career as Dallas Star)... He had much more bigger role in Bruins playoffs than in Oilers... Lemelin was pretty good goalie too... How did he fair against him?...

Tikkanen is the only one that might deserve, for being one of the elite pests in the history of the game.

He won the Jennings trophy while with the Boston Bruins. 4-time All-Star; 2 with Edmonton, 2 with Boston.

Lemelin isn't hall of fame material.

Andy Moog (3 Stanley Cup Rings with Edmonton Oilers; 372 Wins; 28 Shutouts; The William M. Jennings Trophy 1990; NHL All-Star 1985, 1986, 1991, 1997)

And that's where it can stop with 1980s Edmonton Oilers players having their numbers retired and being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The rest of the players from the team don't have the stats to warrant retired numbers and induction. People tend to forget that it was Andy Moog and not Grant Fuhr who was in nets for the Edmonton Oilers first Stanley Cup win.

Retiring #s is so passe, matter of fact it is one of the dumbest trends going.

No other Oiler from the 80's should be inducted.

You are talking about All-Star game representations here. In 84 and 85 Moog was selected to play in All-Star game by his own coach Sather. I don´t know if that is anykind of achievment.

In actual leagues All-Star teams Moog was "third team" All-Star twice (so was actually Lemelin) and Vezina finalist once as being third (Lemelin actually twice being 3.)

Maybe you should drive HHOF to have own team section for these dynasty teams. Individually these or the Islanders players doesn´t really make it.

Danny Gare might have a shot

Can’t believe that Wild Bill Hunter is not in the HHOF
