I agree, totally. I figure his ceiling is 65 pts if healthy. So I guess we only differ in our yardstick for translating.I think Lindstrom game actually translates well for the NHL. He already plays a pro power forward game, cycling the puck, creating room, crashing the net, leveraging his teammates, making himself open as an option. Good shot, good release. And he’s far from a finished product so he has room to develop. I don’t see him as a play driver on any line but a nice complimentary piece that you can put on any line, either wing or center as needed. I maintain my 60 points average prediction but he has room to grow and even in the NHL he’ll be one of the biggest strongest forwards in the league. He’s too good a fit for this team to pass up. He’s just not the most exciting player but I think he can be effective.
Yup , thats gold and can make up for a few bad years of draftingIncredible how Dallas found him and Johnston.
Nope. But believe what you want. I've clearly stated my take on his goal-scoring numerous times. If you think 19 assists in 32 games for a top-5 center is fine, great. Your opinion. If I want to draft a pure goal scorer, I'd take Eiserman for one, and not have to worry as much if he's going to be a regular in the IR along with Price and others.
Hey look at you going against consensus of pro scouts and scouting services.If I was the first team team picking a D, it would be Buium, and only Buium. Won't be as good/dominant as Maker . . . but not that far off. Also, his brother Shiah is 6'4" so Zeev will likely grow a little more and max. out around 6'2".
I've seen several "draft experts" suggest Buium in the top 5, so it's not that "out there" as they say. Just a little.Hey look at you going against consensus of pro scouts and scouting services.
He should go to Chicago if thats his ceilingI've seen several "draft experts" suggest Buium in the top 5, so it's not that "out there" as they say. Just a little.
He was ridiculously good against grown men in the NCAA, in a very good conference.He should go to Chicago if thats his ceiling
At least one scout in McKenzie rankings had Sennecke at 5, so that's not completely out there either. Just saying.I've seen several "draft experts" suggest Buium in the top 5, so it's not that "out there" as they say. Just a little.
Yep, lots of question marks, no a lot of international play either (Hlinka, 2 points in 4 games). Played with McKenna and Basha. He was never the play driver of his line or the PP.There's an excellent point that was brought up by GrandWazoo a few pages ago.
Before this season started, Lindstrom was almost universally projected as a late first / early second round. The earliest ranking I saw him in was 16th.
32 regular season games vaulted him to a projected lottery pick. Was he that convincing in those 32 games? Hell if I know. I really wished he had played a full season. I don't count the 4 playoff games because he returned to play before he was healthy and didn't play well.
That's worrisome to me. I don't like the idea of spending a lottery pick on a guy where I have more questions than I do answers.
The second thing about him: The way he plays translates much more into a winger than center in the NHL.
I have no idea how he'll turn out because I haven't seen him play and in general, a lot of the scouts are guessing based on a thirty game sample. If we take him and he's just a 50-60 point winger, that's a massive failure.
I like Buium but I'm not sure he'll be better than ParekhI've seen several "draft experts" suggest Buium in the top 5, so it's not that "out there" as they say. Just a little.

It's worrisome because we always take the late risers and the only one looking like he may pan is SlafkovskyThere's an excellent point that was brought up by GrandWazoo a few pages ago.

and extra second for the Ises is a good trade to move down 2 spotsThis feels like an odd move up a month out of the draft, but i guess Davidson knows something about who will be there at 18 vs 20? or what team 19 wants?
They have so many picks that im fine with this.
Oh its really good for the Isles.and extra second for the Ises is a good trade to move down 2 spots
