VOORHEES, N.J. -- The final sticking point in the deal that would send Eric Lindros from the Philadelphia Flyers to the New York Rangers has been resolved and TSN in Canada reported that the deal received league approval late Friday night.

Flyers general manager Bob Clarke lifted his Friday deadline for the Rangers to sign Lindros, clearing the way for the Rangers and Lindros to work out the final details of the contract and get insurance on it.

"I expect it to be resolved on Monday," Clarke said.

Clarke had said Thursday night that another team was interested in trading for the restricted free agent.

The Rangers and Flyers agreed on the players involved in the deal earlier in the week. Carl Lindros, Eric's father and agent, and New York general manager Glen Sather also have agreed on a contract reportedly worth about $37 million over four years.

"There are just minor details left before it's done," a Rangers source said of the trade. "It's just dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Nothing it appears will stand in the way."

Lindros hasn't played since May 26, 2000, after a check from New Jersey's Scott Stevens in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals gave him his sixth concussion in 27 months.

Lindros took a physical in New York on Thursday and was in Montreal to see another neurologist on Friday. He saw Dr. James Kelly in Chicago on Wednesday. Clarke said Lindros has passed all his exams.

The Rangers would send forward Jan Hlavac, defenseman Kim Johnsson, young forward Pavel Brendl and a middle-round draft pick to Philadelphia for Lindros.

The Flyers also would give the Rangers a conditional first-round draft pick if Lindros failed to play a certain number of games.

Lindros, 28, sat out last season after rejecting an $8.5 million qualifying offer from the Flyers. He refused to return to the team because of a contentious relationship with Clarke.

Once he was cleared to resume skating last November, Lindros said he only would play for his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs. Days before the trade deadline in March, Lindros added St. Louis, Detroit and Washington to his list. He added the Rangers to the list last month.

A source said the other team Clarke said is interested in Lindros is the Los Angeles Kings.

The Flyers have come close to dealing Lindros to Toronto, the New York Islanders, St. Louis, Detroit and Edmonton. But each time the deal fell through.

Clarke had said he didn't care if Lindros ever plays again, and was willing to let him sit until he became an unrestricted free agent in 2004.

But this deal was too good to pass up for the Flyers.

The Rangers, shut out in free agency this summer, have long desired Lindros. New York actually traded for the star center nine years ago, but the deal was voided by an arbitrator.

After Lindros refused to play for the Quebec Nordiques, who had made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1991 entry draft, both the Flyers and Rangers claimed to have made a deal to acquire him in 1992.

The NHL appointed an independent arbitrator, Toronto lawyer Larry Bertuzzi, to decide the issue and he awarded Lindros to Philadelphia.

In eight injury-filled seasons with the Flyers, Lindros had 290 goals and 369 assists. He made six All-Star teams and won the MVP award in 1995, but Philadelphia lost its only Stanley Cup final with him.
