Hmm. Decoy.
If he's anything like his father the Habs should steer clear if him.Somewhat unrelated, but the QMJHL held the first round of their draft today.
Maddox Dagenais, the son of former Hab Pierre Dagenais, went first overall. They're the first father & son combo to both go first overall in the Q's draft.
If some of you from Quebec / NS / NB watch Junior hockey, there are some names worth keeping an eye on.

Lidstrom draft selection + Kent Johnson acquisition…Arpon preparing Hab fans to what’s coming?
That's always the case, though.Reposting: what a difference just 6-months makes…
Sennecke & Lindstrom were honorary mentions, Tij nowhere mentioned
But he's not, though.
He's big, in the sense that he's tall. But he's not thick and he's not built out yet.
Plus, let's say he was: His game isn't built on bullying smaller players. His game is built around skating, positioning, offensive instincts.

He was a man playing vs boys…
Hope he drops and HuGo can land another top-9 pick to grab him
The small sample terrifies me. Especially when those 32 games were early in the season when teams are not tuned in yet, and Basha was the play driver on that line, not to mention McKenna on the pp.That's always the case, though.
There are always players in the top-10 that plummet & players that are unknown that skyrocket.
As GW mentioned, it's interesting to me that Lindstrom went from honorable mention to virtual lock as a pick in the top-5 through just 32 games.
I don't think it's that dramatic, honestly. He's going from the concensus #2 to probably being picked around 12th.just as dramatic is Eisermam falling from the unquestioned #2 pick (some even had him as #1)
I don't think anyone's saying they're "wrong", per se.Question: not that they’re always right, obviously, but why do you think all these.”professional” scouts who have Lindstrom rated so highly are wrong? They know he only played 32 games this season and yet, they still have ranked top 5 for the most part.
Understood. . . but the world is filled with late bloomers. I might take him before Demidov anyway but if Demidov is gone at 5, I would definitely take Lindstrom.I don't think anyone's saying they're "wrong", per se.
However, the argument on our end would be, is a 32 game sample enough to catapult someone who wasn't in anyone's top-5 prior to this season? It'd be one thing if he was in Eiserman's shoes and missed half the year due to injury, he was already projected as a top pick.
There are just a lot of unknowns with him.
