TORONTO -- Eric Lindros has exercised his $3.3 million contract option for next season and will remain with the New York Rangers.
He could earn another $6 million in bonuses, unless his contract is restructured during talks this summer between general manager Glen Sather and Carl Lindros, who is his son's agent.
The Rangers would like to raise the base pay and tie bonuses to performance rather than games played. The team has said it has no intention of buying out the contract for $2.2 million by the July 1 deadline, which would make Lindros an unrestricted free agent.
Lindros, whose career has frequently been interrupted by concussions, missed just one game last season because of a suspension. But he only had 19 goals and 34 assists _ both career lows.
