I'm no expert as College hockey, But his stats seem pretty unbelievable

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

You can’t argue with the numbers.

Good to see them dip into the college FA pool, JR excelled at executing those pick-ups.

 

[Ogelthorpe]

Good signing. Kid just wins everywhere he goes.

 

[EightyOne]

Well.... There's our platoon lol lol

But naw good get for sure

AHL bound?

So minny didn’t keep his rights? He was only drafted 2 years ago and has been solid since. Seems odd

"The 6-foot-1, 194-pound goaltender finished the season with a 10-1-4 record, 1.24 goals-against average, .949 save percentage and five shutouts in 15 games."

"In three seasons with UMass from 2018-21, Lindberg has appeared in 49 games, going 29-9-6 with a 1.55 goals-against average, a .937 save percentage and 11 shutouts"

Nice lol

I'm guessing because he's undersized.

Yeah this guy is going to be DeSmith's replacement after next year unless he can't translate to the pros.

Those are downright filthy college stats. He's easily a top-5 prospect on the team in my eyes with those stats.

AHL bound?

I'm thinking maybe 1 year or 2 at the most for him to be NHL ready. Can't start too late since he is 22

 

[JRS91]

Fantastic low-risk high-reward move.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Free prospect is free prospect. Let's get him in the A and see how he does. There's a window to develop a guy before our two goalies drafted last year turn pro.

 

[Ryder71]

You really can't find any fault with this signing whatsoever. Very nice!

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Lambert's a big college hockey guy so this might not even be hyperbole

 

[Malkinstheman]

His goalie partner was Matthew Murray

 

[Dominance]

I love these kind of signings. If you spent a third, second, hell even a first on this guy four years ago you’d be thrilled with how he’s progressed. And we pick him up for free. That’s how we stay competitive, and that’s why we should not afraid to spend every single pick we have while Crosby and Malkin are still capable of leading this team somewhere.

 

[TimmyD]

Is there any chance he plays for the big club this year?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Curious why Lindberg and Murray split the games so equally when Lindberg's stats are so outrageous

Lol he was a 7th rounder.

Lots of back-to-backs in college hockey.

That's usually how college goalies split games. NCAA has a ton of back to back games, so no need to keep riding hard on Lindberg if Murray is also sufficient.

My Little brother and brother in law are both UMASS alumn so I watch a good amount of ther games. Was always impressed when I saw him. Good signing and a great opportunity for him
