It gave us the first-ballotters in Daniel and Henrik Sedin and goaltender Roberto Luongo, a trio that took the Vancouver Canucks to within a game of the 2010-11 Stanley Cup. It gave us the long-overlooked, at least in the minds of some passionate Ottawa Senators fans, in Daniel Alfredsson, inducted five years after he gained eligibility.
It shed spotlight on one of the most dominant women’s players ever in forward Riikka Sallinen, the first European woman ever inducted.Perhaps most importantly, it righted a wrong in finally, posthumously inducting Herb Carnegie, a potential superstar-level talent who was barred from the NHL during his peak playing years because he was Black, predating Willie O’Ree’s NHL debut.
