Prospect Info: 102nd overall (4th round) Tobias Lindberg (RW) Djurgarden Jr.

If this pick works out, then that Bishop trade is a home run, BM is all smiles. Love the size, that is all we know for now basically. I mean if he plays like Zbanejad like someone suggested here, and if skating and strength can catch up then that is pretty great pick.

as we all know, with the sens drafting, picks can often be the deciding factor in trades. (see vermette for leclaire and a 2nd (lehner))

Best hidden potential. People consider it a weaker league but can contain some big talent.

It's where they found Karlsson, Lehner, Silfverberg and such.

Lindberg apparently had a very impressive u18 in his limited play.

Not Lehner. Lehner is a product of the Soo Sault Marie Greyhounds.

He only went to the OHL after being drafted.

Pretty sure he was drafted out of Sweden. Then got drafted by the Soo to come play in the OHL

Yeah...

... I was just testing you guys.

You passed.

 

[Super Cake]

Speaking of lehner, i hope we get to see him play a ton of games next season.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

This guy is nothing like Sorensen. Sorensen was picked because of his very raw potential offensively. He had really soft hands and amazing puck control. They were hoping that would translate well as he faced tougher competition.

I was really high on him. He is a guy who's development hit a bumpy road imo, was promised strong SEL minutes, and it just did not work then sent to lesser league and so on.

Lindberg is more built and tough competitor. A big frame, he uses it well, he attacks the net, he shots it well. This is where Zibanejad comparisons draw in. Also heard he is a strong skater.

With that being said, someone posted it on here and another scouting report said some scouts question his hockey sense. Then again, how many prospects have we drafted that started off like that and evolved their games.

I'll try to catch some live games and get back to ya'll about him.

Any update on Tobias?

He seemed to have much of the same season with 60 more PIMs. Also seemed to have down well in the playoffs with 2 goals in 4 games for 3 points.

But does anyone have anything beyond that?

 

[Qward]

Don't think we will get any more info until well into next season.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Didn't improve much over last year. You could kinda tell with the raw ability and questioned IQ he had that this was possible outcome. Was considered project anyway so difficult to assess after one year.

 

[Nealssens]

Any OHL fans have any thoughts on his play this season? Numbers look good is he progressing or just benefiting from being an older kid and playing on a great team?

 

[starling]

More like the latter.
He is doing OK, but he is not dominant in any way. Definitely worth giving a contract but he'll need to spend a few years in AHL.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

He's been awesome in the playoffs and has put on size since last year. Excited about this kid.

Lock for Bingo next year?

 

[BonkTastic]

Lock for Bingo next year?

Likely, but not a lock.

There's always the chance he gets offered full time minutes in the SEL next year and asks to develop over there. The whole reason he came over to play CHL this year was because he wasn't getting enough minutes playing in Europe.

It's an outside chance... it still looks far more likely that he plays for the B-Sens next year, but it's definitely not implausible.

 

[Mr Invidious]

I am not happy, Murray is throwing away picks, this guy is the second coming of Sorensen

These are always fun.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

This guy is my pick for next year's Calder. We should trade him while his value has peaked because he will likely bust - I watched his highlights and his skills won't transfer. I don't even know what I'm saying.

Please tell us something we don't already know!

Oooo this is a juicy quote from back in 2013

 

[aragorn]

I have high hopes for this guy, he has good size, excellent scoring skills & if he can put on a little more muscle he could be a very good pro player. Looking forward to seeing him in Bingo next season along with Paul & hopefully Lazar in the middle of those two.

 

[SenatorArmy*]

Yes he's really good. NHL superstar coming up

That would be the dream scenario but 1 thing that is very positive about him and that we don't have much of is size AND speed...if he can keep filling out and continue to get quicker then he will have a legit shot at a bottom 6 role and then who knows if he will offer more?

Certainly exciting to see some our junior players blossom this year and add even more optimism.
