Confirmed with Link: Jesper Lindgren signs with HPK in Liiga (Post #57)

[67Cup]

I can say whatever I want you nacho eater.

True enough

 

[Svanstrom]

Jake's replacement is in da house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A slick skater moving forward, and adequate in his lateral movement, there are a number of people who feel Lindgren does much like Erik Karlsson did at that age. The two share oddly similar styles and look on the ice.

Whut whut!!!!

Yeah I remember the first scout reports talking about him as potentially a new Erik Karlsson. Obviously way to early to call back then and so today. He didn't make the WJC roster this year. I wonder why...

 

[Harold Ballard]

Draft picks have signed ATOs then not been signed to ELCs. However chances are that the Leafs bothering to fly him over in the Spring at the age of 19 means they like him. A lot.

He's the youngest drafted defenseman to come over from Europe since....

<drum roll>

Tomas Kaberle.

He should be ok because Cam Janssen doesn't play in the league anymore.....but apparently he has Sesito working for him...

 

[Morgs]

Signed a 2-year contract in Finland.

Should have a bigger role in a better league. Excited to see how he does.

2019.

Let me find the link.

nice don't worry im sure its 2019. He is really our only RHD prospect in our system him and Mattinen (who doesn't seem to be much) are the only 2 unless Holl is counted as a prospect

 

[Pyrophorus]

Good that he gets more experience.

 

[firstemperor]

Good news, hope he takes a big step forward with the opportunity.

I was pretty shocked he didn't make that roster and I believe it was a mistake. Especially since they didn't bring a single RHD to the tournament. I like this player a lot, he just needs to put on weight and he will be much more effective at higher levels.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Seems like the right choice for him. Have to say that I'm not very happy with his progression so far.

 

[FlareKnight]

Good for him. Continue to develop for the time being. Hopefully by the time that deal is up he's willing to come over and we'll have a talented young D to add to the group.

 

[McMatthews]

Seems like the right choice for him. Have to say that I'm not very happy with his progression so far.

He was MODO's top defenceman in a professional league at age 19.

It's not his fault his club team got relegated to Allsvenskan.

That's very good.

If you're not very happy with his progress, you have no idea what he's doing.

Marlies sign draft pick Jesper Lindgren to an ATO

After a successful run in the junior championship to cap off a tough year for MODO, Jesper Lendgren is getting some Toronto time.

The AHL transactions page today lists Jesper Lindgren as signed to an ATO by the Marlies.

Lindgren a 2015 fourth round pick of the Leafs has just finished his season in Sweden on a high note. After putting in a very good personal performance on his struggling MODO team, he helped their J20 team win a championship.

Now he’s getting another chance at playoff time in Toronto. He knows at least one person on the Marlies, Dmytro Timashov was in the MODO organization as a junior before he came to Canada.

Lindgren is a right-shooting defender, is listed at 6’ and 161 lbs and has played top pair most of the year. He was just not quite good enough to make the Swedish WJC team, but he is not far from that level.

So did he get any playing time with the Marlies? I'm not sure I understand the point of this post,

Yup. Can't be difference of opinion, it have to be that.

Typical of this place. Instead of asking why I have that particular opinion, you go for my credibility.

Having a difference of opinion is fine but there are people that are of the opinion that the earth is flat. All facts indicate it is not but they must be right because it's their opinion.

Kind of the way you told Nith his opinion was flat out wrong.

You do realize players can progress, plateau or even regress as they develop right?

Can't say I've ever seen Lindgren play, not sure if you have either, but him playing for Modo in the SHL at 19 really guarantees nothing.

To be fair, Nithoniniel's country is Sweden at least thats what it says on his profile. So maybe he knows more about the players there than we do.

Sorry forgot to put the link in... It appears he didn't, however, he was evidently signed Apr 11 2017.

It will be very interesting to see if he gets in game action, and persists through to get some playoff time. But no matter what happens, welcome to Toronto, Jesper!

[JEI]

Long-term prospect. Just turned 20. Two more years in Finland make sense if the playing time is there. Future on the Marlies blueline was a long shot anyways with Borgman and Rosen in the fold now.

I'm not sure what's going on with this post?

I agree with Nith on this, so make that at least two flat-earthers here.

He's on a pretty normal trajectory for a 4th round pick, which is to say a non-NHL one.

I'm with you here.
