from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,
The waiting list also includes Doug Gilmour, Steve Larmer, Bobby Smith, Rick Middleton, Adam Oates and Dale Hunter, Russians led by Igor Larionov and Pavel Bure, pre-expansion NHLers who no longer have a veterans’ category and those dogged lobbyists for Paul Henderson, still fighting for him 36 years post-Summit Series.
The current selection committee, infused with some new blood this year, meets Tuesday to vote on up to four 2008 player inductees. After a few recent no-brainers, Ray Bourque, Patrick Roy, Scott Stevens, Al MacInnis, Mark Messier, this is what some call a “light” year, or a chance to address oversights.

The Toronto media kills me. Absolutely slays me.
In their induction primer, nowhere on their list does Adam Oates appear. Dale Hunter makes it, Rick Middleton makes it…but not Oates.
Amazing. Oates belongs in the same group with Larionov, Ciccarelli and Anderson. The amount of shine they give to Doug Gilmour is unreal - all for being a Maple Leaf during the final years when they were good.
