Because LINDWOSS is a punk!!!!! The Fliers Gave up way too many draft picks and way too many players for him. That said, they gave up their future. What did they get in return for him???? 3 relatively young players with relatively small salaries. And Jeremy Roenick as a free agent. Lets face it, the Fliers made the same mistake that the Minnesota Vikings did when they traded for Hershal Walker of the Dallas Cowboys.
In these cases the teams losing the players were able to rebuild their teams and the teams that received the players got very little in return.
If Lindros can ever reach the level of play he had once achieved then the Rangers could be a serious contender. On the other hand, one good hit and its LA-LA land for Lindros. Good Night Irene.
Personaly, Im glad hes back in a uniform again. Love him or hate him, controversy or no, Lindros is good gab when it comes to the NHL. Im glad hes going to play again so I can watch Derian Hatcher of the Dallas Stars punch his lights out
I love watching Derian pound the crap out of Mr. Tough Guy. Makes Lindros consider retirement
I remember a fight between Lindros and Messier. Messier got a torn shoulder or something from the fight and hasnt been the same since. As teammates???? Yep thats gonna be one heck of a test for Messier. I bet Messier retires after this season anyway. And Im sure he'll be glad to be away from Lindros and his Ego.
I would bet they fight a few times in training camp and maybe even a few times in practice during the regular season. Management will try very hard to keep it quiet. If they fight too much I bet Messieer gets traded to a Cup contender. The Avs or the Redwings would probably take him. St. Louis is hurting at center too. Any team would take a leader like Messier though. If the price was right.
