HHOF 2020 (Predictions Here)

[Pominville Knows]

What if Nedomansky's induction not only continues to keep the door open for non-NHL euros, but also opens it up a little bit for WHA-heavy players?

[Normand Lacombe]

Sergei Zubov, Theo Fleury and Rod Brind’Amour should get considerations.

 

[DitchMarner]

Sergei Zubov, Theo Fleury and Rod Brind’Amour should get considerations.

Zubov will be inducted this year.

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

Some players listed are still active.

 

[ES]

Some players listed are still active.

The skaters list is awful. Three active players in top four yet guys like Thornton and Crosby are not in it.

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

The skaters list is awful. Three active players in top four yet guys like Thornton and Crosby are not in it.

I only included active 500+ goal scorers. That's why Thornton and Crosby are not on the list.

The goaltenders list includes active goalies who were listed in the Hockey News Top 100 Goalies of All-Time (2018). Crosby will get on my list after he scores his 500th goal. He needs 54 more goals, and he's only had one 50-goal season his whole career.

Crosby led the league in goals twice, but i take it that's not good enough for you.
Regarding Thornton; Are you aware that your rule will exclude him on your list right up until he suddenly appears on it, once he retire?
Exciting dynamics going on there.

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

The Top 10 players on my list are all 500+ goal scorers.

 

[Big Phil]

Is Iginla the only guy who is eligible for the first time that is a lock? It is going to be him and you would have to think he headlines this class. Wouldn't it be nice if his old teammate Fleury joined him? I know he has rubbed people the wrong way, but let's not forget the guy was an excellent hockey player for at least a decade.

They seem to be grabbing some older guys, so maybe this is Tremblay and Middleton's chance? I am guessing the door is closing on them more and more as time goes on. Tremblay is probably the most important Hab on that 1960s dynasty outside of Beliveau. I honestly don't know why he isn't in yet, WHA or not. If he retired in 1972 I think that would have given him a good enough career. Just imagine he doesn't bolt to the WHA. He plays for Team Canada, does well let's assume, wins another Cup in 1973 which boosts his total to 7. Yeah, how do you keep him out?

There is no goalie who is a lock cinch either. Vachon was the last of the "for sure" omissions. The others like Barrasso, Vernon, etc. all have at least some warts although Barrasso probably is in by now if he was perceived better by the media.

So is Crosby a better HHOF candidate then Pat Verbeek right now, yes or no?

No way in hell. Henri Richard !

Then arguably Jacques Laperrière, Ralph Backstrom.

 

[Michael Farkas]

Fun to know that someone thinks Beaupre and Hrudey and Potvin were better than Lundqvist, Luongo, Price, and Holtby...

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

So is Crosby a better HHOF candidate then Pat Verbeek right now, yes or no?

Yes, and I think Crosby will eventually surpass Verbeek in goals before he retires. My Top 10 are listed in order from most to least goals scored.

01. Jaromir Jagr (766)
02. Alexander Ovechkin (658)
03. Jarome Iginla (625)
04. Patrick Marleau (551)
05. Keith Tkachuk (538)
06. Marian Hossa (525)
07. Pat Verbeek (522)
08. Pierre Turgeon (515)
09. Jeremy Roenick (513)
10. Peter Bondra (503)

10. Peter Bondra (503)

So it's not really your list after all.
It is a ranking that is not about players chances for the Hall, even though some overlapping probably can be found.
Besides that lower on it is suddenly Not after career goals.
Makes my head hurt more than me just having woke up from sleep.

My list is also biased. It's mostly players from the 80s-90s.

 

[Big Phil]

Then arguably Jacques Laperrière, Ralph Backstrom.

Yeah, Henri could be 2nd, that's fine. Tremblay could have arguably won the 1966 Conn Smythe.

 

[tony d]

Iginla def headlines the class. I think Alfredsson finally gets in next year as well.

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

Iginla, Hossa, Mogilny among possibilities for Hall of Fame Class of 2020

Gonchar, Alfredsson, Elias also among those who could be under consideration


Iginla, Hossa, Mogilny among possibilities for Hall of Fame Class of 2020

 

[DannyGallivan]

Some woman who was good from the United States or Canada in an era where there were three meaningful games a year where they played each other.

 

[DannyGallivan]

Iginla, Hossa, Mogilny, Theo Fleury

wingers only

Better than this year, for sure, although still kinda thin.

 

[DannyGallivan]

Players I’d like to see inducted in the next few years from now

Rick Martin
Bernie Nichols
John Leclair
Flash Hoilett
Steve Larmer
Charlie Simmer

No to all of them.
