Lindros, Recchi await Hall of Fame announcement

Former Flyers forwards Eric Lindros, Mark Recchi and Jeremy Roenick, along with one of the franchise's ex-coaches, Pat Quinn, could be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday afternoon.

Out of that group, Lindros, a 6-foot-4, 230-pounder who redefined the power-forward position, appears to have the best chance in what is considered a weak class of first-time nominees. Lindros has been waiting six years to get into the Hall, and the timing may be right.

Once the NHL's most dominating player because of his size and talent, Lindros won one Hart Trophy as the league's MVP and finished in the top 10 five times - once more than 2014 Hall of Fame inductee Peter Forsberg.
