A damn good team... I guess Philly felt that it should do a 
tit-for-tat. After Quebec royally ripped them off by getting a LOT of 
youth and talent for Lindros, Philly will now get some youth and 
talent (Brendl + future draft pick) back...

There is only one thing I don't understand. By coming back, Eric 
Lindros is proving that there is nothing inside his head. So how does 
he possibly keep getting these concussions?

P.S. Shall we start a pool guessing when during the season Eric gets 
his next concussion and also his next extended leave? (as I write 
this I got another e-mail taking game 6 of the 2001-2002 season (-: ).

P.P.S. - The other thing this does is ensure that the Rangers (a) 
will not make the playoffs again this season as they are paying way 
too much money for loser players and (b) will not make the playoffs 
for many years to come, because I've got a feeling they just pulled 
another Doug Weight (traded a future NHL star).
