9. Eric Lindros was quite the player for the Philadelphia Flyers.

When you think of dominate players during the 1990s, the name Eric Lindros comes up. He was a major player for the Flyers during the middle part of the decade and was a stellar center for the team. During his eight years with the Flyers, Lindros racked up 290 goals, 369 assists and 659 points. He was an overall number one draft pick during the 1991 NHL draft and proved to be a good captain for the Flyers for six seasons.

He was something different for the NHL and someone that wasn’t to be trifled with. He played on an elite level and while his career didn’t last very long, he was in that elite category for some time. Lindros was a physical player and a big one too, standing 6-foot, 4-inches and weighing in at 240 pounds. He also was fortunate to be an Olympic athlete and win a medal in 2002.

His accomplishments with the Flyers were many, especially against the Ottawa Senators on February 26, 1997. Lindros had a seven-point game and it was hands down his best game performance. The Flyers did beat the Senators 8-5 and Lindros scored his only goal in the second period to tie up the game 5-5. Yet it was in his assists that he earned all his points, with four in the first period and against one in the second and third. That was the year he helped the Flyers to the Stanley Cup.
