NHL Analyst Craig Button has named four players he sees as clear picks for the 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame induction. These names include Zdeno Chara, Joe Thornton, Duncan Keith, and Carey Price. Button pointed to their strong careers making them 'automatic' choices for the Hockey Hall of Fame honor.
"I think when we use the term automatic lock, I think there's four players. It's (Zdeno) Chara, it's (Carey) Price, it's (Joe) Thornton and it's (Duncan) Keith. And you know, you get different cohorts that come up for eligibility for the Hockey hall of Fame. And it's clear cut in my view that those four players should be automatic in their first year of eligibility," Button said (via @JayOnSc on X).
