Lindstrom, to me, sounds like a guy who's going to end up as a second/third line winger who is a nightmare to play against.
The Lindstrom scouting reports talk about his effort, his motor, his physical play, his skating... But when they talk about him offensively, it's "potential". Compare that to their scouting reports for Berkley Catton or Cole Eiserman where they rave about their offense.
Corey Pronman (Ranked 8th): Lindstrom's game has taken off this season; he's become a big part of a great Medicine Hat offense. He's been hurt for most of the second half though between a hand and back injury. When healthy, he's an elite athlete. He has the quick twitch feet of a smaller forward, and can get by opposing defenders. He's a big, powerful center with a ton of physicality in his game. Lindstrom has good offensive skills, and can score goals. His playmaking is something I've questioned at times although he's shown good instances this season. He has the potential to be a true No. 1 center if he hits although I don't see a lot of NHL centers who play the way he does and I could see him get pushed to the wing.
Scott Wheeler (Ranked 11th):
Lindstrom is a big center (though his NHL Central Scouting listing dropped him from 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-3.25) and an excellent skater who already uses his size to his advantage, whether through finishing his checks, shielding pucks, powering through contact or going to the net front to provide screens. He's also got decent-to-very-good skill and quick hands, both in flight and around the net and the wall. He can play off of the puck and take up space in front or jump into space off the rush with his skating, play on the cycle and stay over pucks to help his team maintain possession inside the offensive zone, create in transition — putting defenders on their heels with a head of steam — and even make skill plays from a standstill inside the offensive zone. He's a strong, powerful skater who can pull away in open ice and win races. He's also strong in the faceoff circle and competitive overall. He looks like a safely projectable second-line center, which at his height and with his skating would make him a pretty rare player type in the league. There are some who believe he might even have first-line upside as well.
After undergoing a minor hand operation and dealing with a bit of a back issue, he has been sidelined since December. I'm told there's optimism he'll be ready to go for under-18 worlds, though, which would give scouts an important final updated set of viewings. He's an easy player to like and one most scouts see a lot of potential in. The expectation at this point is that he'll be picked higher than where I have him here, and it's easy to see why, given his makeup, size and position. I'd certainly sooner slot him higher than lower.

If Anaheim wins the lottery shit is gonna get interesting. They will be a dynasty in waiting, but it’s also probable that Zegras’ value will erode further - he will be expendable.
Ducks should of turned the corner a bit , shitness still prevails

That’s the most obvious one, IMO.
And I’m talking about 26-27 and beyond.

Cole Eiserman was put on this earth to score goals….thats what he’s always done at every level & he excels at it.
Not sure if he’ll fall into teens as being forecasted more & more often, but if HuGo can walk away from draft with Celebrini / Demigod AND find a way to move up to select Eiserman, Habs will have set themselves for the next 7+ years @ fwd IMO
