Miller
Keith Tkachuk

Weber

[Dr Pepper]

From that list I'd say Mogilny and Cujo deserve entry the most

 

[MS]

Datsyuk played in Russia until 2021 so I don't believe he's eligible yet.

No. HHOF | Election Procedures

 

[MadLuke]

The 3 playing season before the 2024 are 2022-2023 to 2023-2024 ?

 

[GMR]

Who should be inducted:

Mikhailov
Holecek
Martinec
Datsyuk
Zetterberg

Who will be inducted:

Tkachuk
Joseph
Some builder
Brind'Amour
Some woman
Marleau

 

[Golden_Jet]

Gonchar

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Datsyuk, Elias, Zetterberg, Mogilny

 

[Professor What]

I'm confident that no Russian will be inducted this year because of politics. I hate when politics rears its ugly head in things like this. Most of the most worthy candidates are going to be slam dunk exclusions because of it.

@Professor What So who do you think will get in?

 

[Voight]

Its criminal that they inducted Carbonneau and have left Lehtinen and Brind'Amour wwaiting.

 

[jigglysquishy]

The selection committee are actually huge fans of this forum and are taking guidance from the pre merger project to induct.

Weldy Young
Dolly Swift
Allan Cameron
Bob McDougall

What about Harry Dick? Was he pre-merger?

 

[Professor What]

I'll guess Zetterberg, Tkachuk, Cujo, and Marleau. I don't have enough of a feel for the workings of the women's game or the builders to hazard a guess there. That said, I'd much prefer @GMR's or @jigglysquishy's list of who should get in. I just don't have faith in the Hall to do the right thing.

 

[GMR]

How about this list:

Mike Keenan
Joel Quenneville
Mike Babcock
Peter Pocklington

My guess is that another sort of politics will keep Keenan out for the foreseeable future.

Same with Quenneville.

Man someone saying this around here....really?

Anyways from the list the Detroit duo and Weber but that's it as several others are borderline.

Part of being in the HOF is representing the HOF and Fleury seems to be unmedicated and mentally ill with a lot of his bizarre rants.

I say that with sensitivity to his humanity, but you can't have that representing the HOF either.

More a fan of Basil Pocklington. He really helped that 84 Oilers team out.

But at the same time, if he was slam dunk good enough we wouldn't have to use his mental stability/politics to decide.

I guess that's true but it sort of makes you think.

Like what if Crosby starts ranting Q-anon nonsense when his time comes? (He won't).

He's a slam dunk, but that's just a terrible representation and not a message that you want to be amplifying or lending credibility to.

So we need a doctor to give a clean bill of mental health for HHOF candidates now?

This is Busher Jackson all over again. I would hope we could be more open minded than Conn Smythe.

Uh, this isn't exactly banning somebody because they are experiencing depression and anxiety.

Clearly it's not about needing a 'clean bill of mental health' but when they are disseminating dangerously incorrect information due to unmedicated mental health challenges then it becomes a very legitimate question.
