Draisaitl and Matthews both on a Hall of Fame trajectory. Also, Makar, Josi, Fox

TB: Kucherov, Vasy, and Hedman are all going to the HHOF, and will have their numbers retired.

Stamkos will probably be the next TB retired number in 4 or 5 years. He's going to the HHOF too.

yah I would say both are basically locks, don't see either one of them dropping off anytime soon.

I'm gonna go out on a limb. Kopitar is a lock for his number to be retired and his numbers (points) make him at least on the ballot for the HOF.

Perry is almost a lock

Does Toews count as active?

 

[UnSandvich]

On NYR Fox is most likely, followed by Shesterkin, assuming both keep up their standard of play. Kreider won’t get into the HHOF, but is an absolute lock for a retired jersey number

Since they retired Dustin Brown's number (and even gave him a statue) that's probably a fair bet. Same with Quick and Doughty.

His number should be retired league wide for the "intangibles" he brought to the game.

 

[Soundgarden]

Josi for sure.

I would think his longevity and the high level of play for so long are going to get him deserved consideration.

Deserved consideration? Why the gray area in a black and white thread? So milquetoast.

He said he'd get on the ballot. I think he makes it easily. *shrug*

For MN, sadly, the only player will be MAF, for his play on other teams. Kaprizov is an elite player, but had a late start to his NHL career compared to most, and he hasn't led his team to any post season success. He will need to be consistently excellent for another 8-10 years, and be on at least one Cup winning team for him to get consideration...tall order.

Pastrnak from those who weren´t mentioned..

 

[cassac]

I think I am missing something on some of the players listed here. Wouldn’t a lock be someone who if they would retire today would have their number retired and get in the HHoF?

I don’t think a lot of players mentioned met that. Then again, I could be wrong about the criteria.

Fair enough. “On the ballot”...wow.
