I agree. While I think Cooperstown goes too far the other way - it's silly that Larry Walker was ever in doubt - I would prefer that was how the NHL HOF worked.
Obviously though they can't start that now after many years of being the Hall of Very Good. That's just what it is now. It's never a great sign when your argument in support of a player going in is essentially, "these other guys are in and they weren't all THAT great either". But it's a legitimate argument. If this guy is in, then that guy should be.
