I had this thought remembering how exciting hockey is now compared to what it was in the early 2000s and the current rules have a lot to do with that. But I also remember thinking at the time that there were a lack of stars then. So I did some quick unscientific research and saw that there were 37 Hall of Famers drafted in the 1980s vs 14 drafted in the 1990s.
Now that only includes drafted players so guys like Martin St Louis don't count and also guys like Jagr, Chara, Zetterberg, Thornton, and Marleau (Maybe HOF?) aren't included but isn't it still something that one decade had double the hall of famers enter the league than the next?
I think it's still too early to judge how many came from the draft decades following but I'm betting it will be way more than 20 for each. The 90's talent just really sucked
