If they have to meet all those qualifications that's a pretty small group which would exclude players from the original list. The last point really is arbitrary.

This HOF is going to be REALLY small if they stick to the criteria. Pretty much everyone that fits the bill is part of the class already. Having said that I hope they keep this pretty exclusive. The Cardinals HOF has already gotten watered down by inducting too many guys every year.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

I was wondering about that. I put my vote in but then it asked if you wanted to register. I didn’t bother, but I did wonder if my vote took.

Reviving this thread:

Red Berenson, Scotty Bowman, Glenn Hall and Garry Unger were selected for induction alongside Bernie Federko, Bob Gassoff, Brett Hull, Dan Kelly, Al MacInnis, Barclay Plager, Bobby Plager, Chris Pronger, Sid Salomon Jr. / Sid Salomon III and Brian Sutter.
All very deserving and all that, but they did exactly what I'd hoped they wouldn't. They inducted pretty much every deserving candidate the first year. By 2030 they're going to be inducting Bob Barry and Lubos Bartecko.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

As I was reading the list that is the exact thought that was going through my head, "who is left?" I'm guessing they are going to get very liberal with the inductions and end up with guys like Backes and Berglund in it.

I'm 100% sure Backes gets in. I honestly think it might be within 3 years. He's 9th in career scoring with the Blues, and of players ahead of him, only Steen and Demitra are retired and not yet inducted. Hopefully they don't induct more than 1 person a year after this first year, but even that might be too much.
