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.
I think that if we draft him, it has to be with the optics that we're ok drafting a 6'4 50-60 points winger. There is definitely value in that type of player, especially for our team, and I wouldn't qualify this as a major failure, but is this really what we want to spend our 5th overall pick on? That being said we need to look at the alternatives. Iginla is probably a 50 points winger, I wouldn't draft him over Lindstrom. Catton is a skilled but frailed center, maybe winger in the pros, remains to see how his play translate to the NHL, if he can't crack the top 6 his value drops significantly. Eiserman, way too many red flags in his play. Then there is Sennecke, who's probably my favorite alternative to Lindstrom, he's a late riser with a huge growth spurts, good size and highly skilled. He'd be my personal pick over Lindstrom personally.
Or we draft a defenseman but I don't see it, unless Levshunov drops to us.
