Who would you vote for for the HHoF? You can vote for more than one. Vote everyone you think should get in eventually. Votes are private.

TheDevilMadeMe · 11-12-2012, 10:37 PM

Do you want us to limit it to four candidates as the real HHOF uses, or vote everyone we think should get in eventually?

Also, can you give a link for where you got the quote?

not that i necessarily think he should be a hall of famer, but i feel like claude lemieux belongs on that list if owen nolan is going to be on it.

TheDevilMadeMe · 11-12-2012, 10:58 PM

I voted for Chelios, Niedermayer, Blake, Kariya, Shanahan, Lindros, Fleury, Barrasso, LeClair, Makarov, and Carbonneau.

Could have gone either way on Carbonneau.

Mike Farkas · 11-12-2012, 11:22 PM

The top-3, Shanny, Lindros and Makarov...thought about a couple of others, such as Fleury...

Agreed. Same with Vanbiesbrouck, Desjardins, Vachon and Zubov.

Won't it be something like Fedorov, Forsberg, Modano and Recchi... with Recchi maybe bumped for a holdover from 2013?

This is also what i voted clearly a cut above the rest on that list.

I guess that was kinda misleading. By the "top-3" I meant the first three in the poll

Of course, Chelios, I'd be hanged, drawn and quartered if I didn't include him...

Kloparren · 11-13-2012, 11:44 AM

Only 7 people voted for LeClair? Guy was one of the best Americans to play the game, led the league in LW goal scoring between the 95/96 season and 2000 (then got injured). Anyways I would vote for all those guys except Andreychuk, Vernon, Barrasso, maybe Brind'Amour and I don't know Makarov well enough though I dont' have an issue if any of those guys get in. You forgot Alexander Mogilny.

Big Phil · 11-13-2012, 04:19 PM

I voted for Chelios, Niedermayer, Blake, Makarov, Shanahan, Lindros (overall I think he gets in eventually), Barrasso and Fleury.

Can't see Tkachuk, Andreychuk, Leclair, etc. can get in. Kariya and Vernon have their peak points but a lot of sewage in between.

At least one player I'd put in wasn't on there and that is Vachon. Middleton wasn't on the list either and I go either way with him.

If only they had some sort of US Hockey Hall of Fame to reward great Americans...maybe one day...

Mogilny would have gotten if every year he played was a contract year...it's those multi-year deals that really set him back...

Chelios
Niedermayer
Blake
Shanahan
Lindros
Andreychuk
Fleury
Joseph
Barasso
Housley
Carbonneau

seventieslord · 11-13-2012, 11:25 PM

I voted for six guys, and they are on top, by far. There is a big gap from Blake (26) to Fleury and Carbs (14).

Easy to tell who those 6 are...IMO Kariya has a pretty strong case. Why not include him?...Not saying he's as easy a choice as the other 6, but IMO he is clear HHOF caliber in the sense that there was a good stretch where he was among the best of the best in the league. Is there a forward like that who's not in the HHOF? Also, throw him some bonus points for his Asian heritage and Lady Byngs.

MadArcand · 11-14-2012, 03:49 AM

I can see the case for most of them. If I separate them into tiers:

Locks:
Chelios
Niedermayer
Shanahan
Lindros
Fleury
Makarov

Borderline yes:
Blake
Brind'amour
Tkachuk
Kariya
Barrasso
Housley
Leclair

Borderline no:
Roenick
Joseph
Carbonneau

Hell no:
Nolan
Andreychuk
Naslund
Vernon

Hardyvan123 · 11-14-2012, 07:40 AM

I voted for 5 guys that I think are locks, all 5 are top 5 in voting. Other guys that are borderline need more thought and the backlog with 4 per year is going to cause problems in the future IMO.

I Hate Chris Butler · 11-14-2012, 09:12 AM

Voted for Housley, Chelios, Niedermayer, Makarov, and Lindros.

Kariya would be my next choice. but he's just not quite there.
