The Hockey Hall of Fame's selection committee is set to announce the 2025 HHOF inductees, with notable first-time candidates like Joe Thornton, Zdeno Chara, and Braden Holtby. Although Holtby hasn't played since the 2021-22 season and has yet to announce his retirement, he qualifies for induction voting. With a strong career record, including sharing a win record with the legendary Martin Brodeur, Holtby deserves consideration despite lacking significant buzz for his candidacy. His exceptional 2015-16 performance was key to the Capitals' success that season.
Holtby had a tremendous 2015-16 season, posting a record of 48-9-7, a .922 save percentage, and three shutouts, helping the Capitals win the Presidents' Trophy.
Despite not officially announcing his retirement, Braden Holtby qualifies for HHOF voting due to not playing in the last three preceding years.
The 35-year-old netminder hasn't generated much HHOF buzz, but his record suggests that his candidacy deserves serious consideration from voters.
Holtby's 48 wins in a season tied Martin Brodeur's record, achieved with 12 fewer games played, highlighting his stellar performance that year.
