What do you mean by this?
With Harpur done, I'd think Paul is up next. Lindberg as well.
I don't see us signing Lindberg right away as we have his rights for another 2 years after this one, so unless he plans on going NA pro next season I see the org sitting tight and maybe waiting to see how he does in Sweden next season
Why would he go back to Sweden? Or is this the last year he's eligible to play junior?
He would be an overaged junior. Most real pro prospects don't play that.

Ryan Callahan did
Most players drafted in 3rd-4th rounds are PPG in juniors as 19 yo.
We'll be lucky if Paul or Lindberg have any sort of NHL careers.
Kaspars Daugavins was above a PPG in the OHL as a 19 year old and then beat that number the following year, so yeah, its time to temper expectations for both of these players...
but the SENS hype machine for prospects will never stop, so don't try my friend.
Cody Bass was a PPG player in the OHL as a 19 year old....
I'm not sure what you are trying to prove, we all know that there are many kids drafted who are PPG as a 19 year old that don't make it.
Just because you score at a PPG clip doesn't mean you will have an NHL career, I'm pretty sure we all knew that. Not one person has said that scoring at PPG means they will pan out for us.
Just because many guys don't make it that score at a PPG(HINT: A reason they were 3rd and 4th rounders) doesn't make the numbers who actually do increase.

So what is your assessment or expectations of these two players?
Because before I critique your post I would much prefer knowing where you stand on the fence so you cant jump it later.
