This forum barely ranked Lindros top 100 and you think he was over-rated?? On most of these kinds of lists he's top 30.
I mean the post of mine you quoted literally says "HF at large" - so no I don't mean this forum specifically.
For me the top 100 was always more about greatest careers. I think based on that, Lindros is mostly slotted in the correct spot, or close enough. If you changed it to "best players" - yes, he would rise up since at his best he is better than some players who had better careers.
Reason why I say he's overrated on HF at large is there's so many assumptions that with health he's a Crosby/McDavid type player. No....I disagree. I think he'd be more a Messier level player, or slightly better than a Joe Sakic. And even if he's slightly better then that - he wouldn't compare to Crosby/McDavid. Both Crosby and McDavid have had absolutely all-time great elite consistency in their career (McDavid still young though, let's see how he holds up) - I don't see Lindros as someone who would have held up as well or for so long.
