HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Redux91]

Here’s something that could send him down.
Briere hasn’t talked to Michkov since the draft?

All I can say is Lmao
After all the shit from last year

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

Show me a better base comparison for Lindstrom? J Anderson may not be a good pick. Who else can we find?

I don't think his vision/play making is good at all. He does a lot of stuff on his own and I question how that translates at the NHL level. Shot is great and compete level is great. Skating for his size is also great.

A lesser Tom Wilson who was also a first rounder

Tom WIlson had 27 points in his draft year

All this debate will be for nothing when we get either Demidov or Lindstrom at 5

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

That's the most likely scenario IMO, by a fair margin. I'd be pretty shocked if we walk away with neither of these two.

All this debate will be for nothing when we will have the choice for either Demidov or Lindstrom at 5* ;-)

we dodged a bullet

We still need some clarity on Lindstrom's back injury. Keep an eye on the discourse around Lindstrom at the combine (June 2-8).​

I’d say there is 90% chance this is the outcome.

yup true

I'm sure his agent already has every X rays and medical reports possible at the ready, that's the number 1 thing scouts are going to ask about. If there's a legit long term concern, folks are going to know about it in a hurry.

Hopefully he doesn't share it with any team but the Habs

His techniques is a little bit weird (high center of gravity), but this can be easily worked on with a skating coach/Adam Nicholas. Kotkaniemi had the same problem, but he was always getting push around, Lindstrom doesn’t get push around. Plus from what he heard and from what he’s showing, Kotkaniemi isn’t willing to work on himself.

lindstrom’ edges are more then fine (or he wouldn’t be playing center at the junior level) and he’s powerful as you pointed out.

6'4 202lbs. He'll add 20 pounds of muscle by time he gets to NHL. Play 220LBS.

This playoffs still reminds us that powerfowards are the way to go if you want to have success.

Lindstrom gotta be our pick. And he will be a perfect replacement when Dach the paper boy gets hurt again. Gotta build a top center depth. Beck and Kapanen are bottom 6.

Oh yes powerforwards like Trochek, McDavid, Draisaitl, Mackinnon, Panarin, Zibanejad, Barkov, Aho, Boeser, Robertson, Johnston, Marchand, Jarvis and Guentzel.

Lol.

I mean, aren't we all?

I wish I was only partially idiotic.

As I said ...thr size thing for forward in the top 6 is bs.....the only size that I am looking at... is the ....brain ....

Lindstrom vs Catton

'both players are projected to be top 5 picks'
half truth.

 

[overlords]

Lindstrom vs Catton

Sounds like AI to me, instant down vote.

 

[NotProkofievian]

The same as it does for Iginla.

And what's that?

 

[montreal]

Assist 3:55
Goal 12:09
Crossbar in OT 14:47

there's no video of his 1st goal, the replay is missing over 4 mins in the 2nd, I tried to find it online but no luck.

You mean neither of...

TIJ!

Just mindless banter

Size in playoffs is important. Not only powerfowards. Off all the player above you listed, how many are 6ft1 or above? And lol at you listing Aho and Jarvis. Both sucks in playoffs.

Let's take them both at 5 then!
