Last year was a bit of housekeeping for the Hockey Hall of Fame. No one who was added was in their first year of eligibility: Eric Lindros, Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov were inducted as players, and Pat Quinn was added as a builder.
Only three out of four men’s spots were used, and none of the available slots for women were. Now we have a few star players entering their first year of eligibility and the backlog continues. Here are a few of the candidates for the 2017 class of the Hockey Hall of Fame:
Dave Andreychuk
Eligible Since: 2009
NHL Stats: 1639GP - 640G - 698A - 1338P / 0.
