The announcements are officially kept secret, but as the third-leading goal scorer of all-time, Hull is a slam dunk on his first eligible ballot. "It's a great honor, it's really unfathomable," Hull said. "I mean, when you're a kid, you dream about someday playing in the NHL or someday winning the Stanley Cup, but you just don't think about this, so it's hard to prepare yourself." Hull and Steve Yzerman are expected to be announced for sure, and Brian Leetch probably will also be named in his first year of eligibility. However, other first-timers such as Luc Robitaille, Dave Andreychuk and Alexander Mogilny will be battling with players who still have not been named, including Adam Oates, Doug Gilmour, Steve Larmer, Dino Ciccarelli and Pavel Bure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
