Overrated? Really?
The guy's peak was unmatched by anyone except the most elite players in the history of the league. His peak was reached at the age of 25 and then sidelined due to injury. Arguably he hadn't even reached his peak at that time.
That was no way that Lindros was overrated with that expectations after the draft. He was a modern Gordie Howe maligned by serious injuries. An unstoppable physical goal scoring beast when on his game.
