Let me guess.  They need a German player in the IIHF for diversity?

Can't argue those choices.

You certainly can....how does Uwe Krupp deserve this?  He was a all star 2 times in the NHL, although the 2nd time was a bit of a head scratcher.  Internationally, he really hasn't had much of an impact.  I'm sure I'm missing something here though.

Well he's the first German player to really make it in the NHL I think. So diversity for diversitys sake?

Or maybe the HOF needed some size in their lineup?

IDK, but your right. Krupp is a head scratcher.

I dont know much about this HOF. Does their NHL career have an relevance? Or is this purely based on international play?

Sarcasm.  The other three definitely belong in there.  Uwe?  Yep.  First name that comes to mind when you mention the others.  Not.
