Surprising news out of Toronto today as Cliff Fletcher announced that he has worked out a 1 year deal with centre Eric Lindros for “multiple colouring books and a box of crayons” with an additional incentive of “some of those super awesome crayons with the glitter in them” should the Leafs make the playoffs.
This new agreement means the 35 year old and 5 time All-Star will be coming out of retirement for a second stint with the Maple Leafs after a less than satisfactory run in 2005-2006. Lindros told reporters yesterday, “I’m so glad to have another chance with the Maple Leafs organization and I promise that I will try my hardest to not suck. Retirement is so boring, I mean, you can only play so much golf and jack off so often, you know?” Besides, how could I resist all these awesome colouring books and a built-in sharpener? I’d be a fool to pass up that opportunity. I just hope they don’t give me any of those connect-the-dot thingys. Those are hard!”

I hear his agent got him some legos in the deal but his mom re-neged on the fact that they are a choking hazard.
Do crayons count against the salary cap?
I like this one a lot. It'll be important to keep an accurate count of the crayons to make sure he doesn't stick any up his nose or in his ears. Also, he's a hungry boy - he might eat them.
Good to have him back on the team, though.
on another note, ho happy does he look in that picture?
I love Lindros.
Jared: his mom also turned down and entire roll of aluminum foil, saying he'd cut himself.
OMGWTFTML: First off, thanks for coming in. I think crayons only start counting in the larger boxes, but I think 96 is juuuust under that.
GB: he's a hungry boy - he might eat them. yet anothe rreason it's good they aren't paying him in Legos. Those must hurt
anon: Thanks for coming in. Lindros looks flipping stoked in that photo.
