Did you see this years induction class ?

clearly the 'most points not in' is a slippery slope as you will always be adding the next name, but out of interest (given that several other former Flames have been discussed)


the highest scoring D not in the HHOF is Gary Suter (13th OV)


further factoid, the highest +- (and yes that stat has a lot of limitations but at the top end its a list of NHL whos-who) amongst D not in is Brad Sarge McCrimmon. He's 7th behind guys you may have heard of: Robinson, Orr, Bourque, Potvin, Savard and Lidstrom. In fact if Carbonneau is in, why not Sarge?

I wonder what he thinks of Vernon’s eligibility.

Bump.

Seeing as this is relevant this weekend. I still don’t understand the Carbonneau nod. I get Theodore Hart trophy vibes from that decision. I mean, good for him, but far less deserving than certain players still on the outside.

Theodore shouldn't even have won the Hart that year, they cheated Iginla out of a Hart Trophy.

That’s what I mean. I feel like there was far to much Canadiens bias in the decision.

Excited for Iggy in 2020.
