2025 HHoF: Who would you vote for?

[banks]

Elias is being underrated

Not in a class like this, he isn't. There's 4 guys that are locks, and then Mogilny.

 

[centipede2233]

I said Chara, Mogilny and Tkachuk.

Chara is a no-brainer.

Mogilny's stats were hampered some by injury, but more than 1000 points, better than ppg, and what would have been 500 goals if not for time missed is a hall of fame career imo. He was a dynamic offensive player in the early part of his career and became a more well-rounded player later on. Come up in 20 years since he retired. Long overdue imo.

Tkachuk scored more than 500 goals and 1000 points. He was a preeminent power forward. The numbers fall off after 30, but I think the work done before that warrant entry.

Price, Rinne, and others deserve entry, but they can wait a year.

Joe Thornton says hi

Price will get in but imho he shouldn’t, once he signed his big contract, his career tanked outside the covid Canadian division year and his fluke run

 

[dirtydanglez]

chara
keith
thornton
price

 

[BLNY]

Thornton will get in but, again, not mentioning him doesn't = exclusion. Chara was a dominant force and Tkachuk and Mogilny are long over due.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Chara, Thornton, Price, Keith, Getzlaf, Elias, Gonchar, Mogilny and Zetterberg for me are HHOF'ers. The rest no. As for the 2025 class - first four I named should be in, the rest will have to wait. Gonchar and Elias will have to wait for a long time but they will sneak in a weak year. Getzlaf and Zetterberg will sooner be in the HHOF.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Elias is being underrated

He was a coin flip for my 4th pick. Went with Rod.

 

[Xspyrit]

Chara, Thornton, Keith, Mogilny.

Exactly this.

 

[Regal]

Chara, Keith, Thornton and Price are pretty automatic imo. I’m not as high on Price as some others, but ultimately he hit heights the rest of the list didn’t and is quite decorated outside of winning a cup/Smythe.

I would have Zetterberg, Getzlaf and Elias in as well if it wasn’t maxed out. Still not 100% on Mogilny but I wouldn’t argue with it.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

They really need to tighten up on the criteria needed to make the hof. N once every 5 years not every year

 

[Habssince89]

Yes, 2015 was a good year for Carey Price.

along with others yes

Joe Thornton says hi

Price will get in but imho he shouldn’t, once he signed his big contract, his career tanked outside the covid Canadian division year and his fluke run

lol nope.

 

[bobholly39]

The first 4, obviously.

Side note - as a huge Price supporter (ie, you wont' find many around here who think more highly of him), I think it's absolutely idiotic and ridiculous he's eligible. He still has an actice NHL contract - which means he isn't retired. It should be 4 years after retirement. But since he is eligible, I voted for him.

 

[Voight]

along with others yes


lol nope.

Not really.

Aside from 2015 he was nominated for the Vezina one other time.

 

[Evergreen]

Chara, Thornton, Mogilny, Keith

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Price pretty much won everything a goalie can Win, aside of the Calder, the Conn Smythe and a Stanley Cup.

Everything else, Price has won it at some point

so did Jose Theodore

 

[wedge]

If I had to vote, I'd go Thornton and Chara, who are two sure things. Keith also deservers to be there.
It gets trickier for the last one. I think Mogilny deserves to be there and he would get my vote. Price would be inducted in 2026. I don't think that's what will happen. Mogilny's been ignored for many years and I can't see Price being ignored by the voters. I don't see Mogilny getting in with such a strong class.

 

[Bouboumaster]

so did Jose Theodore

Théodore won a gold medal at the Olympic while also being the best goalie of the whole thing?
News to me!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Chara, Thornton, Keith, Price.

Easiest one in quite a while.

 

[ESH]

Calm down. I'm not saying he isn't deserving. Of course he is. I simply chose three, and two of them are overdue imo. If I were to pick 4, which is the max allowed in a year, he's an obvious choice.

So if you think he’s deserving, why wouldn’t you just pick 4?

 

[BLNY]

So if you think he’s deserving, why wouldn’t you just pick 4?

Why do I have to?

Price is a weird one. He was an exceptional talent, but only made one All-Star team. He was a great goaltender in the playoffs, but because he played for the Habs he only made it out of the 2nd round once. His peak was crazy high, but because of injuries it only lasted for 2 seasons, and almost all of his arguments for the Hall are isolated from 2014 to 2015.
