On Monday afternoon, eligible candidates will find out if they have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in the 2016 class. Among those candidates are Philadelphia Flyers greats Eric Lindros and Mark Recchi, and it is past time they receive the honor.
Eric Lindros
Beginning with Lindros, he has been passed over for the honor for 6 seasons. Much of this is likely due to the baggage Lindros carries. Lindros was always a controversial figure, starting with his decision to hold out from playing for the Quebec Nordiques.
Even when Lindros found a welcome landing spot in Philadelphia after a contested trade (whether the New York Rangers or Philadelphia Flyers reached a deal with Quebec first), Lindros found controversy again.
