Nah. Lindros was the best player on the planet for a while. That Legion of Doom line was something else. And it was led by Lindros.

I hated how he handled the beginning of his career. It sucked, he sucked and those who supported it sucked. But once you get past all of that, the guy was worth the price of admission. And in the world of what if Mario Lemieux didn't have to fight Hodgkins Lymphoma would he best the best player ever, stands the very same argument for Eric Lindros and his concussions. Dude went from literal beast incarnate to just a good hockey player in such a short period of time. And yeah the NHL on the whole back then really screwed the pooch with the concussion stuff. We lost two potential generational careers for sure in Karyia and Lindros.
