Lindgren so far is stomping even the most optimistic projections of McIlrath imo.
I think that we also need to be careful with our projections for him based on this. Right now, he is making the Rangers scouts look like geniuses. But he could have a set back in his sophomore. As could Fox. Let's face it, to say that both of them are exceeding expectations does not really do them justice.
But yeah, he's been great. And looks to be a rock solid contributor to the defense for a good long time. And will only get better.

This guy is awesome. He is deceptively fast. When you can move the puck well, have good escapability, and play with a damn nasty streak to boot, what's not to love?
Deceptively fast. Late in last night game, he intercepted a centering pass and with 2-1/2 strides, he was already in the neutral zone pushing the counterattack.

Lindgren is the modern defensive defenseman. That includes the ability to skate and pass.

love Lindgren yet McIlrath was supposed to be an a significant intimidating presence. Was stunned when I saw him fight and realized he had no balance. Still doesn’t.
To think Tarasenko should have been a Rangers is just another botched draft opportunity.

I understand. But my comment has more to do with what Lindgren is right now vis-a-vis McIrath. Right now Lindgren is playing a sound defensive game, starting to take the body more, and is ready to answer the bell if needed.
Where I feel confident that his development will continue is in the way it has progressed this season. He went from playing a simple, positional game to throwing the bigger hits and adding a modicum of offense — without being out of possession or sacrificing defense.
I could be imagining things, but it seems like hes shooting MUCH more now than he was earlier in the season.
I think pairing him with Fox was the smartest thing that Quinn has done all season. It's allowed him to really focus on his strengths and build upon them, rather than being put in a position where you almost have to try and do more than your capable of (hello Skjei.)
Either way, we need more Lindgrens and fewer Staals.

I think many of us knew that the day it happened.

Bumping the thread for this kid. I've been really impressed with how he's started the year, and I respect the hell out of him for constantly taking a beating and still busting his ass on the ice. I liked him and Trouba together tonight and want to see that moving forward

Yeah, he's really coming into his own. Battles hard and mostly stays out of the box. The fact that he draws so much ire from other players all the time really speaks to his battle level.

I feel bad for his face, the dude is always cut and/or bruised.
Love how solid he's been, another great game.
Gotta admit I did not think he'd ever crack the roster when he was a prospect, happily wrong about that now. I love the type of role he plays; steady, reliable, keeps is simple and solidifies the D pairing.

A concern is his long term durability a la Girardi. Dude takes a beating game in, game out. Rumor has it Fox keeps a note to his gf for him.
yada
move 2 dallas 4 work
I think as long as he doesn't get concussed his health could last longer then Girardi. The amount of shot blocking girardi did eventually took its toll.
Been singing his praises since we acquired him. He always makes the right play. Does small things that make a big difference. Tough as f***ing nails. I love everything about him.
Imagine targeting both Lindgren and Libor Hajek in the same trade deadline then holding Hajek in any kind of high regard.
They held him in a higher regard than Lindgren. I feel like Lindgren wasn't supposed to be as good as he already is.
