For example, 300 wins and 60 shutouts in 800 games in the NHL can get you into the Hall of Fame. With enough shutouts, you could get there by winning 41 games per season (50% of each season) for 8 seasons, or 30 games per season (36.5%) for 10 seasons. But with a 50-ish game European season, those totals aren’t realistic. Similarly, a player could lead their national team up through the IIHF ranks without ever playing in the NHL and be a legend in their country, but never be recognized in the game, even if we manage in that country. “Famous players” and other honors should be relative per context, like the regular awards. Related to this, a more transparent view of the hall of fame voting/calculation would be appreciated. How many votes did each player get? (Why?) And so on.

I am sure adding IIHF Hall of Fame would solve this. After all they have Bibi Torriani award which is exactly what you described here
