"Top 3 in his position" as in "nominated for the McBride". I was not saying he was top-3 all-time. Andersson was nominated six times for the award, same with McBride himself (who won all six) and Prikulis who won three. Despite the lack of a playoff resume that is a huge accomplishment.

Kinsler was the captain for three cups. Okay. He has no individual awards won, two Mexico nominations, one Dar nomination, and a single first team all-star. I doubt he will be kept off the ballot for very long but I also am not all that convinced of him as a first ballot over Andersson, either.

I also think Schmidt was closer to Andersson than the votes indicated and it would be more accurate for Andersson and Schmidt right on the outside looking in with Kinsler a step behind the two.

There are a few players I would like to see in the hall at some point but no idea how to fit them all in the coming seasons. Cant, Schmidt, Kinsler, Broadway certainly deserved a solid look if not outright deserve it in. But we have McZ, Allen, Malkin, Hamilton, Sarantez, Haas, among others coming in the next couple seasons which is going to make things really dicey.
