first, they put anybody who had a half decent career on the ballot, look who's on the ballot for the first time this year with Lindros - Tommy Salo, Frederik Ollauson, Mike Ricci and MATHEW BARNABY

back to Lindros, BEFORE the concussion problems his points per game average wasn't far behind Mario Lemieux. He was as dominant as anybody, no player ever had his size and skills. he had a bad habit his entire career, from kid to NHL of looking down at the puck - because he was so much bigger, stronger and skilled he got away with it, players bounced off him ......... UNTIL he started playing against men like Scott Stevens in the NHL.
His brother suffered the same fate even quicker.

He's a very interesting case for the Hall of Fame, Sandy Koufax is in the baseball Hall of Fame as are some others who had short dynamic careers like Lindros. If Eric had quit sooner rather trying to hang on he'd be remembered for what he was in Philadelphia as the center of the Legion of Doom line.

I'm not sure if he has a chance, is it the hockey writers who vote for the hockey Hall of Fame? I'm not sure how well liked he was by writers, a lot of people thought he was a snot nosed spoiled kid. Always seemed decent to me, he was raised upper middle class which isn't typical for most NHL players, and he didn't dumb down to fit in.
