Sakic and Shanahan are locks, IMO.

Bure and Sundin get in too.

Barasso could actually sneak in, but I don't think so.

I hope Shanny brings a video explaining why he should be in the Hall of Fame...

Sakic
Shanny
Sundin

Bure (maybe)

 

[TiLoBrown]

If Shanny doesnt get in, I smell a ban

 

[The Q stache]

Shouldn't AKI Berg be in there by now?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

If Shanny doesnt get in, I smell a ban

That's what SuperFlyer said... ooyyyoooo!!'

According to the Mayan calander this will be our last class of inductees...so maybe they should let Lindros skate in......naaaahhh...

 

[Comeds]

No Vinny D?

 

[Automattic]

Can we start this thread over and not mention Lindros this time?

SHANABAN! 8 GAMES!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Probably.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

No way Barrasso gets in....unless his rankings as an American born player help his cause...I think he was highly overrated for much of his later years in the league..not quite living up to his high school phenom hype...

Sakic- no explanation needed
Lindros-sorry haters,but his stats warrant it
Shanahan
Bure

Lindros-sorry haters,but his stats warrant it
Bure

I don't know if either had the longevity or consistency to justify the HOF. Neither had 500 goals or 500 assists for their career. Lindros had a grand total of one 100-point season. Bure only had two, but was more of a scorer and had 50 goals in a season five times or more. Lindros never scored 50 goals and only once passed 60 assists in a season. Obviously health was a big factor, but to me, that's something that has to be considered.

I'd guess Shanny, Sakic, Sundin, and Oates.

 

[ritari330]

If I were making the calls:

Sakic, Bure, Shanabaner, and Oates.

Oates should've gotten in a long while ago

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Forgot about Oates!!

Definitely should be in the hall.

Sixth all-time in assists; every other eligible person in the top 18 is already in. Sakic, Jagr and, likely, Recchi will also be in from that group.
