There is a big list of big names that could wind up in the HHOF in the near future, and there isn't too much consensus on which ones should be there. Eric Lindros, [Scott Niedermayer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54522/scott-niedermayer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Paul Kariya](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55132/paul-kariya?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and [Rob Blake](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54751/rob-blake?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) would be my choices, but I'd also really love to see Pat Burns (sadly) post-humously inducted.

In other news, there has been a lot of reviewing of free agency weekend performances around the blogosphere.
