He didn't play at the high level for a long enough period of time. Injuries suck, but they are part of the game.

Bernie Nichols played longer and better than a point per game guy.

Tim Kerr shredded teams for a span of about 5 years, but then injuries brought him down. 4 straight 50+goal seasons

Pavel Bure....the Russian Rocket....another point per game guy

lots of douche-bags are in the hall of fame (for every sport) so despite his douche-baggery stunts, that's not enough to keep him out. I bet if Rod Brind'Amour had a vote, Lindros wouldn't get it.....

He just didn't sustain the high level of play long enough. He was a force of nature, but ultimately nature bit back.....
