I really don't get the Lindstrom hype. At No. 3, I want to be absolutely sure about the player. Lindstrom still has a lot of questions about his game.
I've watched probably 40 MH games over the last two seasons and when he's on, he is on. He CAN physically dominate games but out of the 40, I can count around 5 where he is the best player on the ice.
He's not like guys like Catton/Basha where they do not take games off.
I'm quite high on Lindstrom mind you. I just don't think he's no. 3. He doesn't drive play and defensively he's pretty lost.
He reminds me a lot of Conor Geekie. Everyone marveled about his skating, size and projections but forgot about consistency.
