This year’s Hockey Hall of Fame speeches are done, and we’re four months away from the nomination deadline. Four months seems like a long time, so why talk about Dave Andreychuk’s Hall of Fame campaign now? Because we only have four months to go!
Think about it: once the holidays are done, we’re already down to three months! At that point, it’s trade speculation time. By the time the trade deadline itself actually rolls around, we’re down to a month and a half, and we’ll be consumed by the Stamkos Return Countdown. The next thing you know it’s April, and we’ll be rushing to convince the selection committee to let Captain Andy in.
