The stupidity of the system, really. By dramatically over-representing the first half-century of the NHL's history - a period that largely saw fewer than 100 active NHL players at any given time - the league screwed itself on the back half. Add in the poor inclusion of too many members of the modern Blackhawks, and they just compounded their mistake.
