Yzerman, Hull, Leetch should be locks. Tough on who the 4th member will be, but Robitaille should be there.

I'd say Robitaille would get in over Leetch but I think all 4 guys you mentioned will get the nod in their first year on the ballot. Kind of feel for Dave Andreychuk for being this group...might not get in on the first try but should get in eventually. He's kind in that group with guys like Gilmour and Ciccarelli...they've got the numbers to get in but they don't seem to be sure things or at least first ballot Hall of Famers.

Hull reports that he'll be in...he'll be part of the first father-son pair in the Hall.

Leetch should get the nod over Robitaille. Hard to argue against him winning the Calder, 2 Norris Trophies, and a Conn Smythe.

Leetch will also be the first U.S born defenseman (Langway was not born in the U.S.) to make the Hall.

Agree about Andreychuk. It's up to him and Robitaille I think and I would take Luc.

Stevie-Y, The Golden Brett, Lucky Luc and (whatever cute name RangerFan has for Leetch)...they all get in and rightfully so. Also, Lou Lamoriello goes in for the Builder Category...a very strong class for 2009.

When you're the all-time leading goal scorer at a position, that oughta get you in pretty quick. Thankfully, Leetch and Robitaille both got in...wouldn't want to see either guy get passed over.
