Duha leads a mock HOF voting committee....here are the results
Just a great piece by Eric and a clear explanation of how hard it is to get in.
You need to subscribe to read it all, and its well worth it, but here are the nuts and bolts of it all.
Quote:
The 2020 Athletic selection committee consisted of writers from every corner of our world: Adam Vingan, Arpon Basu, Corey Masisak, Daniel Nugent-Bowman, Hailey Salvian, Jeremy Rutherford, Joe Smith, Josh Cooper, Lisa Dillman, Mark Lazerus, Rob Rossi, Scott Burnside, Scott Cruickshank, Scott Wheeler, Sean McIndoe, Sean Shapiro, Sarah Goldstein and me.
As closely as possible, we followed the actual Hall of Fame committee format. Each selection committee member was permitted to nominate one player (in either the male or female category but not both) and one candidate in the referee/linesman or builder category. In theory, that could mean as many as 36 candidates could appear on the ballot.
Some years, the class of first-year eligible players is so strong that virtually no second-chance candidates have a shot. Other years, no single new candidate jumps off the page, thus making it easier to ponder the candidacies of players that have previously fallen through the cracks.
This year fell somewhere in between.
Once the deadline for nominations passed, it produced this candidate list:
Male player (13 candidates)
Daniel Alfredsson, Theo Fleury, Sergei Gonchar, Marian Hossa, Jarome Iginla, Steve Larmer, Vincent Lecavalier, Jere Lehtinen, Kevin Lowe, Alex Mogilny, Keith Tkachuk, Mike Vernon, Doug Wilson.
Female player (two candidates)
Jennifer Botterill, Natalie Darwitz.
Builder category (eight candidates)
Francois Allaire (nominated twice), Red Berenson, Cassie Campbell, Paul Henderson, Bill Hunter, Mitch Korn, Mike Marson, Viktor Tikhonov.

Three candidates – Marian Hossa, Alex Mogilny and Doug Wilson – all polled well right out the gate. The remaining eight did not. We’d established a rule going into the second ballot that any candidate with five or fewer votes would be dropped, because to get from five to 14 was difficult, bordering on impossible.
Results
Alex Mogilny
16 (Elected)
Marian Hossa
14 (Elected)
Doug Wilson
14 (Elected)

Lots more in there including the women and builder categories.
But what i took away from it the most, is the long haul Fleury has to get in. Vernon looks closer at this point.
