NHL players (post 1970) that do not belong in the hockey Hall Of Fame?

Refusing to play for Quebec really turned me off too. Always had the attitude that he was an elite player before he played many games.

Even his best seasons weren't elite when compared to other guys his size in the 90's. I never thought he would get in to the HOF!

His refusal to play for Quebec was based on the owner, Marcel Abut, not the team itself. He said if Marcel Abut was the owner of the Leaf's, he would have refused to play for them as well. As you will see, once the people found out how much of scum bag Marcel was, they welcomed Lindros back with open arms.

Marcel Abut's charges. Lindros knew about him and his behavior but of course the media didn't mention anything about it because they love a story.

The NHL so badly wanted Lindros to be "The Next One". He was a monster for Oshawa in the OHL and coming up at a time when there was a deep pool of talent coming from eastern Europe. Remember, this was right after the Iron Curtain fell and there was still a lot of uncertainty and distaste for former USSR countries. The early 90's saw the likes of Jaromir Jagr, Sergei Fedorov, Pavel Bure, Niklas Lidstrom, and Alexander Mogilny come to their own. Lindros had all of the raw tools and tremendous size to change the game and draw in new fans. But, the concussions, many as a result of immaturity, steered his path a different direction.

For the record, I can't stand Lindros. But he was quite a force when paired up with LeClair.
