Player Discussion Charlie Lindgren

[Jaynki]

He is this year Matt O'Connor.

Solid signing. Will provide great depth. Definitely has starter potential

 

[lynx]

Does someone want to explain the burning of one year off the contract thing?

 

[Fazkovsky]

If he plays a game he might get a shutout that would be Hella cool

Normally, a player that age signs a two year ELC contract. But since he'll play one game (or more) this season at the pro level, it burns off a year off his contract which means he can most likely get a better contract one year from now (if he doesn't **** the bed). He could also become a UFA faster.

i think this CP injury is more severe then anticipated and after the Condon/Scrivens experiment they now realize they need a more reliable backup (not sure lindgren is that though),

CP is probably very prone and likely to re-injure this again early next season, and thats what they are preparing themselves for

He gets a SO and MB trades Price this summer, for 3 4th liners and a Dman vet who can bring leadership and Karachter, and Grind...all of whom speak french...

The next Yann Danis

 

[Draft]

Two things I like about this move.

#1 Lindgren sounds like a good goalie prospect and someone Waite can work with. I've got confidence he's got room to grow and will be better than ******* Robert Mayer and other goalies we've had in the past.

#2 We've essentially guaranteed a couple of losses if we're putting him in for games this year.

Hopefully he can take on the mantle of tank commander from Scrivens.

He definitely made his mark as being one of the worst goalies ever to suit up for the habs, at least he'll be remember here for something.

Yep. Worst goalie I've seen on a semi-consistent basis since I've started following the Habs. He's in the WOAT HHOF with Auld & Aebischer.

 

[Skip Bayless]

More assets...can only be a good thing.

Exactly.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

He definitely made his mark as being one of the worst goalies ever to suit up for the habs, at least he'll be remember here for something.

He started off bad, but he's been somewhat decent since the all-star break. He has a .918 save % since, considering how awful our D has been without Subban that is still respectable.

Regardless, nice to see a solid goaltending prospect getting signed.

You know he's going to stand in his head when the adrenals takes over and he tries to impress the brass. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a shutout when he plays.

 

[Uncle Gary]

These are the signings I like to see. Guys with good potential.

 

[habsterr]

Charlie Lindgren might already be better then Ben Scrivens

 

[The Exiled One]

I've been following him since he was a recruit for SCSU. Good goalie. Improved every year and is an extremely focused and dedicated student of the game.

Side note: The only other SCSU's goaltender alumni to play in the NHL were Sam LoPresti and Frank "Mr. Zero" Brimsek who is enshrined in the HHOF. Maybe Lindgren will follow in his footsteps!

MB thought Kassien and Semin and potential too

 

[Fozz]

Now we can draft his brother with one of our 2nd round picks.

Lol.....so are most peewee goalies

Adios fucale?

Just to go off topic a moment, that is what makes the Jimmy Vesey move so puzzling. However, I won't deny the importance of schooling (and life after hockey) and this gives him control of where to go. However, he will take one more year to earn the big paycheck assuming he succeeds.

Hope we see Lindgren soon to better gauge his talent.

 

[Mike The Wall]

love his mask:

 

[Habs4Life]

funny how we can get top goalie prospects, but no top forward prospects....

 

[AppsSyl]

Good signing guys! People should be happy with this. You can never accumulate too many good assets.
