Fairly sure there would be an unspoken ban on Kovalchuk from ever getting any honors from this league let’s be real
Also, no Gonchar?

i cant wait to see all of the Datsukian Deekes in the highlight reels. I think you get auto inducted when they create new verbs for your game…

I believe Weber is currently playing with the Coyotes and has a contract until 2026 wink wink.

Datsyuk is a player that 14year old hockey players know and look up to today. What an amazing hockey person. Drafted so late and completely dominated on both ends of the ice.

Datsyuk is a no brainer. The others are more borderline cases.

Is datsyuk not there yet?? That surprises me

Az Coyotes legend Pavel Datsyuk

Datayuk, then a look back at other people who haven’t gotten in (Mogilny especially)

Datsyuk is an easy lock. Don’t think you can really be put on the top 100 greatest players of all time and not be a hall call lol

First hall of fame noms that make me feel old

Datsyuk is the reason i started watching hockey, wasnt the same for me after he left the wings. Dude is a legend

Datsyuk, Kovalchuk, and Marleau I think are definitely hall of famers when it’s all said and done. Ryan Miller and Rinne can make a case. I don’t know if Weber is a hall of famer.

Datsyuk needs to be first ballot.
If he stayed in the NHL he might have another Selke or two.
Him and Bergeron are the best defensive forwards of all time

Datsyuk should be an absolute no brainer

Datsyuk is a lock on merit. I think Weber should and will make it as well. Marleau is a lock too, because look how many games he played. Kovalchuk will be permanently snubbed even though he’s a Hall calibre player. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rinne gets in, his vezina finishes are better than you’d think. Don’t think Miller will make it because a guy with his resume needs a Cup.

Datsyuk is a first ballot. Easy. My only concern is if politics are brought in because he’s Russian *eye roll* hopefully that’s not the case

I think Rinne deserves it 100%. People saying he’s borderline but in my mind he’s pretty well locked in there. Rinne was just barely a step behind guys like Price, Lundqvist and Luongo

Marleau and Datsyuk should be first ballot… Have to factor in international achievements. Both have gold medals. Long NHL careers. Datsyuk has 2 cups. Marleau’s got 2 gold medals and most regular season games played.

The only lock is Datsyuk. How somebody can look at his 2 way game and try to say « he didn’t have the numbers » is hilarious to me. Rinne is definitely close. Ryan Miller was screwed over his whole career, so i don’t know. He should just cause I feel bad for the guy haha

If either of those goalies gets in before Osgood, I will riot

Kovalchuck is not a hall of famer
theManWOFear
Miller is one of my favorite goalies of all time. Don’t think he makes it, but awesome to him in contention.
Also, Penguins legend Marleau I think gets in.
Datsyuk feels like a lock.

I just think its weird Zetterberg isnt ahead of datsyuk, I believe he won more stuff even. Guy did an insane amount for charity.. how many x qmount of firealarms was he directly involved in? Half of detroit? Its just nuts when you think about. Hof committee is a joke. A Country club.

Datsyuk only show in I see. Rest is too early

Datsyuk is a no-brained and this is from an Avs fan.

Can we all agree Marleau is a Hall Lock.
