Eric Lindros was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1991 and the traded to the Philadelphia Flyers a year later. He was named the Flyers Captain before the 1994/95 season and stripped of the"C" towards the end of the 1999-2000 season by then General Manager and Flyer Captain/Legend Bobby Clarke . Let's say Bobby and Eric didn't exactly have a great relationship, I'm not going into much detail because every whose a Flyers fan pretty much knows what happen or has some knowledge. This isn't about their relationship. He was traded prior to the 2001/02 season to the hated New York Rangers.
Finally, Eric Lindros had a very good career but if it wasn't for the many concussions who knows what kind of career he would of had and if he would of lead the Flyers to a Cup win. We will never know it's one of those things. What if?
Congrats to Eric Lindros!
