Was Lindros Worth It?
How good was Eric Lindros for the Rangers this past season? If you’re like me you were probably a little disappointed about the Blueshirts missing the playoffs and perhaps projected some of that disappointment onto the centerpiece of last summer’s team improvement process. But realistically what could we have expected from the former number over all pick in the draft?
Lindros started his career with the Rangers in difficult circumstances. New York fans were angry over a seemingly one-sided trade for damaged goods and the abandonment of the youth movement for the quick fix approach, something Rangers fans are decidedly sick of.
