The Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee meets next week. Joe Pelletier at Greatest Hockey Legends looks at the names being considered:
The Class of 2008 will be a unique induction. Because of the lost 2004-05 season due to NHL labour issues, there are no first-time eligible candidates as no player officially retired in 2005. Players that did not return after the return to duty, they were deemed to have retired in 2004, and therefor eligible for induction in 2007.
We all know 2007 was perhaps the greatest induction class ever, thanks the incredible pool of eligible players. 2008 is almost a make-up year for the Hall.
Here’s a look at who is likely to get inducted in 2008. I call it the Hockey Hall of Fame Power Rankings.
Doug Gilmour - For a short time in the early 1990s, Gilmour was the best player in the NHL. Besides, Toronto’s love affair with him would make for a grand stage for the Hall’s celebration.

Oates, Ciccarelli, Larionov, and Anderson.
They’re all no-brainers - there shouldn’t be a debate. And I know Toronto loves Gilmour, but Hall of Fame? No.
