Super SUPER excited. Gonna be a stud. Many teams wanted him badly. A real "Nick Jr."

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

This pick comes from a misunderstanding. *Lidstrom*, not *Lindstrom*. They're not even related.

Holland going after big names ( brand names ) We have Gustav + Lindstrom . We could get him in the 4 round . Before that we had Lil Bert , Tergeon, Holmstrom . We just .....

6'2", 187lb, will be 19 in 4 months, wore a C for his J18 team.

Lindström plays for my hometown team. He's invited to the WJC camp in USA next month, and will likely play top pairing minutes in Allsvenskan this season.

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

 

[Leronziia]

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

Not sure, but it'll be like Hronek, who turned 19 in November.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

He missed last years draft by a month

 

[ChadS]

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

He's a late birthday (Oct 20th), not an overager.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

He is an older player. September 15th is usually the cutoff... I am doing that off the top of my head though.

In any event, like Mantha or other fall players he is just older because of where the cutoff is. First year eligible for the draft.

 

[norrisnick]

Is he an overager? Or just very old for this draft class?

This is his first eligible year. And being 18 he's not very old for this draft.

Unlike some of their others he has the size. If he has the skills of Hronek/Saarijarvi, could be a nice pick..

Should have traded our pick and moved back to get him. I don't like it at all.

His numbers are also less than impressive. Obviously I've never actually seen him play, so I guess I should hold off judgement for now. Still think we could have dropped back to get him while adding another pick in the process.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

This pick I like

Can't wait for people to spell lidstrom now instead of Lindstrom smh

 

[Frk It]

Interesting pick, still have a lot of faith in Hakan. Had been trying to get more info on this guy the last few months on the prospect board. I was a fan of Westerlund here, but I know ChadS liked Lindholm, so I'll give this one a shot.

Fwiw:

One letter away from accurate.

It was destiny to have a Lindstrom after fans put a n in Nick's name for so many years.

Or just used one of our 3rd round picks we had on him. He doesn't crack the top 100 in alot of lists. Seems like a heck of a reach to me.

Lol probably.

Post stealer

And if the skating is concerning then I like this pick less but right now still the best imo and I haven't checked who we picked yet besides the two after this
