Brind'amour and Lehtinen are interesting cases. 5 Selke's between them, but are they really HOF players? Can you honestly say they are 2 of the greatest players of all time, which is what the HOF is reserved for? Same with Kariya, Blake and Tkachuk. I just don't see any of them as part of that group that could be labelled as the best ever. Then again, with the argument that with all those Selke's, they are certainly among the best defensive forwards ever. But best ever?

Chelios, Niedermayer are locks for sure. Zubov IMO might make it one day, definitely one of the most underrated defenseman ever.
