TORONTO _ After being presented with his Hockey Hall of Fame ring Friday, Eric Lindros revealed that a short time after he played in the alumni game at Citizens Bank Park on Dec. 31, 2011, then-general manager Paul Holmgren asked him if he was interested in returning to play for the Flyers.
At the time, Lindros was 38, and his career ended in 2007 because of multiple concussions suffered during his career with the Flyers, Toronto, New York Rangers and Dallas.
"Are you nuts?" Lindros recalled telling Holmgren.
Lindros, 43, spoke to reporters after he, Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov, and Kalli Quinn (representing her late dad, Pat, who once coached the Flyers) accepted their rings at the Hall of Fame in Toronto.
