Eric Lindros finally received the call to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Lindros is one of four new members elected to the Hall of Fame on Monday, joining a group that also includes former goalie Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov, and long-time NHL coach and general manager Pat Quinn who is going in under the builders category.

The big name here has to be Lindros.

One of the most physically dominating players of all-time, Lindros was one of the most unique on-ice forces the NHL has ever seen, offering a nearly unmatched combination of size, strength and skill that helped him be one of the two or three best players in the league for a 10-year stretch between 1992 and 2002.

During that time Lindros' 1.31 points per game average was the third best in the entire NHL, trailing only Pittsburgh Penguins teammates Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr.

He was at his best during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons when he recorded 185 points in 119 games. He won the Hart Trophy during the 1994-95 season and also finished tied for the league lead in scoring with Jagr.

His induction into the Hall of Fame means that every MVP winner between 1955 and 1998 is now in.

Because of concussion issues throughout his career, including near the end that resulted in his early retirement, his overall career numbers are not going to match the level of dominance he routinely displayed on the ice.

Some quick thoughts on the rest of the 2016 class.

Sergei Makarov. Because Makarov's prime came before Russian players were regulars in the NHL his time in the league was very brief, playing only seven seasons in the NHL between the ages of 31 and 38. But he was a force in the Soviet Union and on their national team, including in his three Olympics appearances where he had 28 points in 22 games.

In 519 professional games in Russia Makarov scored 322 goals and added 388 assists.

Originally drafted in the first-round of the 1983 draft by the Calgary Flames, he finally made his NHL debut in 1988 and was an immediate success, averaging more than a point per game during his first three years in the league. Prior to the 1993-94 season the Flames traded him to Hartford for a draft pick. Hartford turned around and traded him and three draft picks a week later to the San Jose Sharks so Hartford could move up in the draft to select Chris Pronger with the No. 2 overall pick.

In 424 NHL games Makarov scored 134 goals and added 250 assists.

Rogie Vachon. Vachon spent 16 years in the NHL and is one of the league's all-time wins leaders for goalies, recording 355 (19th all time) with the Montreal Canadiens, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, and Boston Bruins.

He spent the majority of his career as a member of the Kings, but won a pair of Stanley Cups with the Canadiens in 1968 and 1969, while also winning the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender in '68 while splitting time with Gump Worsley.

It was only his second year in the league.

Pat Quinn. From a coaching and front office perspective, Quinn was one of the NHL's giants for years, starting with his time as an assistant coach in Philadelphia, to his rise to power as the general manager in Vancouver, to his time as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

During his time in Vancouver he led the team to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final thanks to some earlier moves, including the trade for goalie Kirk McLean and the decision to draft Trevor Linden and Pavel Bure.

Quinn's time behind the Toronto bench between 1999 and 2006 was their most recent run of sustained success where they were a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.

Quinn coached in 1,400 regular season NHL games, finishing with a 684-528-188 record.

Quinn passed away in November, 2014, following a lengthy illness.

Though he was never able to capture a Stanley Cup, he was a two-time NHL coach of the year and won Gold medals for Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics, the 2004 World Championship, and IIHF junior tournaments for the under-18 team in 2008 and the under-20 team in 2009.
