Yes! I love this pick.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I like that he's a part of your late round potential gems. Don't know much about him myself.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yes! I love this pick.

I support you guys! Treliving listened obviously as well.

 

[JPeeper]

Looks good to me.

 

[Anglesmith]

I love this pick. Thought he'd be a second-rounder.

What a hot pick! He's reminds me of a younger Backlund, probably has more upside.

Really? Based off of?

Generally speaking if pro scouts agreed with you he would have been picked a lot higher and even higher than Backlund was.

I think we could trade Backlund now

4th round picks seem to be Calgary's bread and butter. Actually same with Winnipeg with Hellebuyck and De Leo.

 

[BigRangy]

My favorite pick out of all the players selected in the 4th round this year, with Maltsev and Reunanen coming in close right behind. Golyshev is also a good pick, but the Flames don't draft Russians for some reason.

I know it's just a coincidence that the Flames' two best players were from the 4th round, but I really think Lindstrom will make a great impact at some point in his career.

No updates since he was originally drafted but he has now played four seasons in the SHL (uncommon for a player who's just 22 years old) and had his best offensive season to date.

I believe the Flames have to sign him by June 1st or lose his rights.

Any news about him?

I don't think he will get signed if that's the case. Those stats are less than exhilarating.

No Backlund 2.0?
