From The Draft Analyst report:
An effective two-way forward with impressive skill who can play physical and maintain a high compete level from start to finish, Lindmark provided the NTDP 18’s with versatility and occasional scoring while serving as the third or fourth-line center. Lindmark, who is committed to Wisconsin, is what you’d call a “Glue Guy” – one who provides the coaching staff and his teammates with the desired approach and effort before and during every contest. Lindmark sets a good example, and his hustle and attitude did not go unnoticed on a team loaded with skill. He plays a crash-and-bang style, especially on the forecheck, where his anticipation and routes create multiple dilemmas for opposing defensemen. Lindmark finishes his checks with authority while maintaining situational awareness, thus helping him gain control of the puck and make quick feeds for scoring chances.
Lindmark played both wing and center this year, and although he has soft hands and an underrated wrist shot, he appears more impactful playing the pivot. He was the best faceoff man at the under18 world championship, winning 68 percent (64-for-94) of his draws, and is an expert penalty killer. Lindmark didn’t see a regular shift on the power play, but he can serve as a net-front presence with effectiveness in both screening and tipping shots. He’s an above-average skater for his size in terms of speed and acceleration, and he can drop a deceptive change of pace that helps him gain a step on a closing defender. He also sees a fair amount of open ice for breakaways and odd-man rushes, partly because his ability to read the play or sniff out lazy passes.
