It's interesting to see how many of you don't seem to know who Anze Kopitar is.
Crosby, Jonathan ToewsHere's my list of active players whose career numbers and accomplishments during their careers so far make them locks for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
My main criteria is if they retired today, they would make the hall after the 3 year waiting period.
Patrice Bergeron
Patrick Kane
Connor McDavid
Drew Doughty
Jonathan Quick
Marc-Andre Fleury
Sidney Crosby
Evgeni Malkin
Kris Letang
Steven Stamkos
Victor Hedman
Andrei Vasilevskiy
Joe Pavelski
Brent Burns
Alex Pietrangelo
Alex Ovechkin
Nicklas Backstrom
Some others are close and very probable, like Mackinnon, Matthews, Draisaitl, but don't yet have enough years of sustained high level performance to be in the lock category.
Who would you add or subtract as locks from this list?
Never said he did, just correcting stats.Interesting.
Baseball is definitely the toughest sport to make it in.
Giordano can play D.
Regardless, neither deserve to get in.
you gotta look at the players they let into the hall. if Carbonneau is in, Toews is a stone cold lock of the century of the week.very underwhelming resume. Take out team accomplishments and not much left. 2nd team allstar and 1000 games ..WOW..... Only scored over 70 points twice in 14 yrs. If someone looked at his career without knowing who the player is they would say no to HOF. Only 852 career points and a lot of undeserved hype
AEG hasn't announced his statue yet, can you blame us for not knowing about him?It's interesting to see how many of you don't seem to know who Anze Kopitar is.
I would put Burns in over Karlsson.No Quick, Burns, Pavelski, Pitrangelo and Backstrom
Add Karlsson.
There’s no way Marchand is getting in no matter what the guy does on the ice. He can’t even weasel his way into a Horton’s commercial!
OofI would put Burns in over Karlsson.
Don't worry, it's coming...AEG hasn't announced his statue yet, can you blame us for not knowing about him?
I think Roman Josi might have the chance as well.
I wouldn't say Makar, because he's too young.
If they retired today:
Bergeron
Chara
Crosby
Doughty
Getzlaf
Hedman
Kane
Karlsson
Keith
Kopitar
Kucherov
Malkin
McDavid
Ovechkin
Price
Stamkos
Thornton
Toews
Weber
Almost there:
Draisaitl
MacKinnon
Makar
Marchand
Matthews
Vasilevskiy
Possibly:
Backstrom
Fleury
Giroux
Josi
Letang
Suter
Based of what?I would put Burns in over Karlsson.
Patrice Bergeron - Great player, depending on the other nominees, he might take more than 3 years.Here's my list of active players whose career numbers and accomplishments during their careers so far make them locks for the Hockey Hall of Fame.

No more than Patrick Marleau.Bit of an odd list and several omissions that will almost certainly make the Hall.
Pavelski’s been a good player for a long time, but him making it would really tarnish the Hall.
No more than Patrick Marleau.
Marleau is a good comparison, who'll probably get in due to doing it longer.No more than Patrick Marleau.
I think Pavelski is easily the superior all around player. Marleau was soft as butter and didn't play defense.Marleau is a good comparison, who'll probably get in due to doing it longer.
Yeah, but Makar needs a few more years to gather up points.but he has a norris, a cup and a playoff MVP
Matthews and Vasi are in I'd say Leon and Makar too
Letang isn't getting in.
I haven't heard anyone say that Mark Giordano should be in the HoF, and Giordano has more hardware and is considered a much stronger defensive player while still having more career points than Letang.
Regular | Games | Points |
Giordano | 1024 | 544 |
Letang | 941 | 650 |
Playoffs | Games | Points |
Giordano | 30 | 9 |
Letang | 149 | 90 |
Not a chance - Bergie is a first ballot HOFer without a doubt.Patrice Bergeron - Great player, depending on the other nominees, he might take more than 3 years.
What about Ovechkin, though? I say Ovechkin #1, and Crosby #2.
