The only similarity between Galchenyuk and Lindstrom would be the injury issues in their draft year. In term of tools, Lindstrom is a powerful skater and plays an heavy 200 ft game, he is a puck possession player in same the mold of a Slafkovsky, very soft hands and translatable tools. Galchenyuk was a below average skater and not really a 2 way player. I think Lindstrom has a higher hockey IQ too.I mean, they seem to like Matheson well enough............
(joking but not)
Lindstrom kind of scares me/reminds me a little bit of Galchenyuk's draft year. Really intrigued with the player, but don't want to pick another Dach-type who can't stay in the lineup.
