The Daily: Hockey Hall of Fame Adds Some New Names

The Hockey Hall of Fame came calling for new names and some fans feel a few were forgotten. In go goalies Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, and Henrik Lundqvist. Builders Ken Hitchcock and Pierre Lacroix had their names called, too. Pierre Turgeon and Canadian four-time Olympic gold medalist  Caroline Ouellette.

Quite the class indeed. Now, Rod Brind’Amour missed out and Alexander Mogilny was left off again. There’s arguments for other players, including one I watched for many years in Chris Osgood, who is probably one NHL individual award short of a call–despite 401 wins and two Stanley Cups as a starter.

Regardless of opinion, those in absolutely are deserving. Congratulations to them and their families for their hard work paying off.

Blackhawks In Case You Missed It

• • Elliotte Friedman said the Blackhawks may be targeting Vladimir Tarasenko. Regardless of whether it happens, Chicago absolutely needs to be building wisely–and swiftly– to help Connor Bedard
  • Wing & a Prayer: Four Forwards the Blackhawks should consider trading up to grab
  • The Blackhawks may have several options–at left wing–at pick #19
