Eric Lindros is a Hall of Famer

Today Eric Lindros hangs up the blades, ending what will go down in history as one of the most controversial careers in the history of the NHL.
From his refusal to don the Quebec Nordiques' jersey at the 1991 NHL draft, to his public criticism of the Philadelphia Flyers medical staff, to the multiple concussions, the Big E leaves behind not only some huge numbers but also a long-running drama that began – at least publicly - in his junior hockey days, when he refused to play for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
The question now about Lindros centres around the hall of fame. For me, it’s obvious: he’s in.
