Does Lindros Belong in the Hall of Fame?

With the 2010 Hall of Fame Class due to be announced later this afternoon, whether former Ranger Eric Lindros should get the call or not has been a hot topic.

Lindros recorded 865 career points and won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player in the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season. He also helped Canada to Olympic gold in 2002.

His career was cut short due to numerous concussions.

During his time with the Rangers, Lindros had 66 goals, 92 assists in three seasons.

...what I remember from Lindros' time with the Rangers was his first year in 2001 when they got off to a hot start then headed out west where in the same game against San Jose Lindros was injured and Fleury lost his mind. After that the season went down the drain.

...having said that based on his play in Philadelphia where he was a dominant player I feel he deserves to get in.

...what do you guys think?

Absolutely should get in. When you think of the Flyers in the 90's you think of Lindros.

What is the argument for NOT putting him in?

Flyers Lindros yes, Rangers Lindros no.

If Cam Neely got in, so should Lindros.

Neely 762 games 395 goals, 299 assists, 694 points.

Lindros 760 games 372 goals, 493 assists, 865 points.
