A lot of discussion of Eric Lindros leading up to the announcement. I would vote for Lindros.
His career was shortened by injuries but he did enough. There was a significant time he was the very best in the world or right there with the best. That's always what I look for. I want my HOFers in all sports to have been dominant at something important for a time.
Like I would not vote for Mike Gartner. 708 goals but never anywhere near the best. Never a guy that would be anywhere in the discussion of who you would build a franchise around. I wouldn't vote for it.
Lindros though, yes.
