Prospect Info: Kalan Lind - LW | 46th Overall | 2023 NHL Draft

[LastWordArmy]

The sixth overall pick in the 2020 WHL Draft, Red Deer Rebels forward Kalan Lind would probably like a “do over” on his draft year. Things started well enough, with Lind playing for Team Canada at the Hlinka-Gretzky Tournament. However, a midseason injury cost him two months during the regular season. He was again injured in the playoffs, being on the end of a headshot and missing time as the Rebels were eliminated. It wasn’t the draft season that Lind envisioned.

​

Lind was very good when on the ice though, producing numbers in the WHL. He scored 16 goals and 28 assists for 44 points in 43 games. Lind also added two goals and three assists for five points in 10 playoff games. This came on the heels of a successful season as a 16-year-old in 2021-22. He scored 20 goals and 38 points in 61 regular-season games. Lind also added one goal and six points in 10 playoff games.

Someone needs to introduce this kid to Fat Mo's and the Pancake Pantry to put some meat on those bones.

He seems really confident in his interview and has attended games here before. I like this pick.
