Sure you could argue he is more deserving than some names previously inducted, but that doesn't mean a lick to me. He belongs in the hall of very good.

If you read Theo's book you get insight into what a rough time the Flames organization was going through. When you look at the Flames roster in the mid-late 90's, it's incredible Theo put up the points he did while also battling addiction.
The year Theo got traded to the Avalanche, he put up 1.15 ppg through 60 games with the Flames and then put up 1.6 ppg with the Avalanche while battling an injury. A glimpse of the player he could have been on a competitive team.
Theo absolutely deserves to be in the HHOF
