2. Eric Lindros

Here’s another pick that some people may disagree with. Although not remembered as a legendary Ranger, he’s one of the greats of the game. His recent hall of fame induction confirms his place among the best to ever play.

Over the course of his short career, he averaged 1.14 points per game. On the surface, his numbers are impressive. What’s even more impressive is the way he played the game.

With dazzling skill and Hulk-like size, Lindros was a force on the ice. Unfortunately, concussions ruined his career, but he will still be remembered as one of the best forwards of the past 20 years. (Also, Lindros showed eight-year-old me around the Rangers locker room back in the day—great guy!)
