He should be in. I hate to say it was the "kick" with the skate in 1972 that has kept him out. It seems out of place that he is the Soviet from that era who was as good as he was that isn't in.
Who should be in the 2024 HHoF class?

i guess we really don’t know what corey perry did but as a fringe candidate i have to think in the long run this smoke will keep him out. vs say marleau and his squeaky clean coach taylor image.
although if i’m being honest, i honestly believe that theo fleury was so singularly memorable on the ice that he would be a no brainer auto-HHOFer if not for him being a combo of knowing where the bodies are buried and being a loose cannon.

20 years of All-Time Drafts on HfBoards
Zetterberg & Datsyuk in the same year would be apt (like Malkin & Crosby).
Jennifer Botterill.
Either Shea Weber or Rod Brind'amour.

Personally, him being anti vax doesn't bother me. If he doesn't believe in vaccines (or certain ones) then that's his prerogative.

Weber slammed Zetterberg's face into the boards in the 2012 playoffs. That would be an awkward moment for them.
Stevens/Francis were inducted together and Stevens almost killed Francis once but that was sort of a clean play, right?

Celebrate 68
I think it was more than "sort of clean"...I don't recall having any problem with that hit...assuming we're talking about the one from the 2001 or 2002 playoffs...

Those two things tend to go hand in hand. Quite Qlear why this is the Qase. Qraziness.

Datsyuk, Webber, Zetterberg, Cujo & Brind'Amour should get in but I have a feeling Cujo misses out again. I'd put Gonchar in too but isn't the max 5 a year??

Curtis Joseph is long overdue for induction...
Belfour was a first ballot inductee into the Hall of Fame, while Joseph's still waiting for the call after more than a decade of eligibility
Belfour vs Joseph
Peak Season:
Belfour's '91 Vezina season when he was also a Hart finalist, leading the league in the following stats:
.910 SV%, 44.6 GSAA, 79 GA%, 14.0 GPS
Joseph's '93 season when he lead the league in the following stats:
.911 SV%, 57.4 GSAA, 77 GA%, 16.2 GPS
A Vezina finalist for the first time in '93, Joseph had just posted the 5th best single season GSAA in NHL history - a mark which stands today as the highest total since '76 - and then promptly finished a distant 3rd in voting behind the 2 goalies with the most wins that season, Belfour and Barrasso. Joseph received 0 Hart votes.
Joseph then posts what seems like typos - an 18.7 GSAA and a miniscule GA% of just 59 over 11 playoff games
Roy's legendary Cup run during those same playoffs saw him post a 21.4 GSAA and a GA% of 68 in his 20 playoff games
So, during his peak, CuJo was the best goaltender in the world
5 Year Peak '91 - '95:
Belfour = 309 games, .905 SV%, 114.3 GSAA, 87 GA%
Joseph = 280 games, .908 SV%, 149.3 GSAA, 84 GA%
Having come out of his 5 year peak with 2 Vezinas, a pair of 1st Team All-Star selections, and a 2nd Team All-Star selection, Belfour has all the hardware he'll need for induction
Joseph, who appears to have out-played Belfour during their respective peaks , emerges from this 5 year stretch with a resume that remains largely unchanged from when he entered the league , save for the addition of "1x Vezina finalist". and "1994 Western Conference All-Star"
10 Year Prime '91 - '00:
Belfour = 589 games, .908 SV%, 145.7 GSAA, 90 GA%
Joseph = 610 games, .909 SV%, 165.3 GSAA, 91 GA%
Belfour has a memorable run to close out the decade, winning the first of back-to-back trips to the Finals with a team that features 6 future Hall of Famers
Joseph spends the latter half of his prime on talent-starved rosters with little chance of experiencing any meaningful team success
From their first year in the NHL through the end of their age 38 season:
Belfour
856 games, .908 SV%, 193.2 GSAA, 91 GA%
Joseph
858 games, .907 SV%, 185.6 GSAA, 93 GA%
Vernon
779 games, -78.2 GSAA, 104 GA%

I don't think it really matters, the HHOF basically just inducts anyone with enough hockey connections. At this point I think they should just let anyone with 500 goals, or 1000 points in. Would be funny.
