GoHabs2002 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Apparently, Lindros is a UFA also. Sportsnet has learned the New York Rangers have declined the option on forward Eric Lindros, thus, making him an unrestricted free agent. http://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/story/10570061...=10570061047171 [Edited on 2003-7-1 by puck7x] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Wow huge news... Think the leafs sign him? They've been wanting him for years , and he and his family have wanted him to sign there for years... seems like a no brainer , Lindros to sign with leafs... Oh well , he's a headcase concussion risk... My fantasy just got better... Instead of Komisarek giving Lindros the RANGER a concussion he can do it to Lindros the leaf... :-^ :can: Edit : Update , Lindros isnt a UFA... Sportnet ######ed up again (They are on a streak now... 4 screw ups in arow) Here is the real story : http://www.tsn.ca/news_story.asp?ID=46014&hubName=main [Edited on 2003-7-1 by puck7x] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahabs111 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 my dream would be better if we could land Lindros zero chance of that..... if/when he becomes a leaf, leafs will become my 2nd favorite team..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs77 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 TSN is saying Lindros will be a UFA very soon, but will be waived first. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=46014 If a team picks Lindros off waivers, it would be responsible for the salary of $3.3 million, plus the bonuses, making a claim unlikely.The more likely scenario would see Lindros clear waivers, and then be bought out by New York for 2/3 of his salary ($2.2 million). Lindros would then become an unrestricted free agent. NHL management sources tell TSN that Rangers G.M. Glen Sather has been trying to trade Lindros for the last several weeks, with no success. The New York Post reported in its' Tuesday edition that Sather had been talking with with Lindros' father Carl about restructuring the contract, but that those talks had also been unsuccessful. The deadline for initiating buyout proceedings at 2/3 of a player's salary is July 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
