Éric Lindros a été repêché par les Nordiques de Québec mais il a refusé de jouer pour eux. Cet événement a déclenché un énorme effet papillon qui a finalement conduit l’Avalanche du Colorado à remporter la Coupe Stanley en 1996.

Steve Dangle: Hold my trade tree.
Not only did lindros help av's win cup he destroyed nords who left qc 4 years later and as a result of trade destroyed flyers cup hopes thanks to the bounty to acquire lindros flyers couldn't find a top notch goalie. And roy never gets traded from hated habs to nords if they remained in qc.
Before he was even drafted, Lindros was a complete embarrassmsnet to the Quebec Nordique franchise. He selfishly, singlehandedly destroyed its credibility, damaged its appeal to any potential future players, thus ruining its competitive future.
Which at the very least hastened the team's departure from Quebec City, if not outright caused it.
Recasting Lindros as Denver's indirect hero, instead of Quebec's "enfant terrible" is bullshi+. He was a spoiled, self-absorbed tool who got what Kharma delivered.
These were better when Steve did them.
Why did Eric Lindros distrust the Quebec owner ? Does anyone have the story on that ?
