W Tobias Lindberg (2013, 102nd, OTT; 2016 traded, TOR)

[jayck]

I don't think there is any topic about him in this section and I want to know why?
He's big. He had good numbers this year for a 4th rounder AND for a first year playing in NA Hockey.
Is it only because he was playing in a boosted team or is there a good potential with this guy?

He got a hatty in the first period of the game today. Kudos to him.

Also, 2013 draft is looking pretty good, right? It's a little odd to see so many good players come out of a recent draft. I mean, most of them aren't in the NHL yet, but it is shaping up to be a very good draft year IMO.

Don't mean to derail the topic. I did watch his goals though. Nice slapper top corner on the third one. 6'3 200 (pretty much). Plus his name is Tobias. Pick looks good.

Lol yeah and I don't know why there's no one talking about him yet?
I've not seen him play and I don't have a lot of info about him so thats the point of the topic.

 

[Proust*]

He also skates like the wind.

Has questionable hockey sense... can't really tell if he's just benefiting from his team being so good.

That said, a good pick for the 4th rounder, for sure.

 

[Lazarrr]

It surprises me that the Senators haven't signed him yet.

 

[jayck]

Yeah because the only thing I read about him is that he's very good but miss a little hockey IQ. But hey he could end up being a big finisher in the league, no ?!

It's hit or miss he could be a Stalberg and I guess that would be seen as a success? Or Kreider if he develops well. Both don't have highest hockey IQ but could thrive in right environment and be effective.

 

[stempniaksen]

I've seen him a dozen times tops, so maybe I'm way off, but the guy kind of reminds of Alex Chiasson. I don't know if his scoring will translate to the NHL, but I could easily see him carving out a career as a 3rd liner. He's looking like a good pick considering where he went in the draft.

Yeah but Kreider plays a hard in your nose game. Does Lindberg plays like that ?
Also, like almost every sweden players, I guess that his defensive game may be good too ?

 

[SI90]

He looked great yesterday. That one timer is big league. He's got great size and skates pretty good.

He doesn't shy away from traffic but I haven't seen him initiate physical play much. His last season in J20 in Sweden he had quite a few PIMS though so dunno where those came from.

 

[Othello*]

Nice goal on a breakaway today.

^ Nice hands

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

What did people think of his tournament? His skating was terrific. Not just straight line similar to guys like krieder and Greening but his agility and ability to stop on a dime and weave in and out.

He wasnt used as much as guys like Cassels and Dal Colle but had good numbers.

Defensively he looks like a work in progress to me but his offensive talents are great combined with his size. He actually looks like a much smaller player just in terms of his skating and agility.

He reminds me a lot of Puempel. I see his potential as a middle-6 winger.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Intriguing player with a very advanced skill set.

6'3, excellent skater, shoots the puck very well, and showed a surprising amount of skill and playmaking ability for a guy who has been thought of as a future bottom 6er.

Seems like the type of prospect that will translate well to the next level. Hard to put a finger on his potential as a scorer at the next level. Will be interesting to follow his development in Binghamton next season.

 

[topshelf15]

Very solid looking 4th rounder for us

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Traded to Leafs!!

 

[Hero]

The new top prospect in the NHL.


Jokes aside 22 pts in 34 games ain't bad for a 20 yr old AHL rookie. Excited to see what he can do on Nylanders wing.

 

[NyQuil]

He's got a slick skillset.

I liked what I saw from him at the rookie tournament this year.

Having issues adapting it to the AHL thus far.

Exactly, what he can do with Nylander at centre is the question

 

[Hero]

Same age and draft year as Andres Johnson.

Post draft
Lindberg - SuperElit - 22 pts in 38 games
Johnson - SuperElit - 5 pts in 4 games -> SHL - 24 pts in 44 games
Draft +2
Lindberg - OHL - 78 pts in 67 games
Johnson - SHL - 35 pts in 55 games
Draft +3
Lindberg - AHL - 22 pts in 34 games
Johnson - SHL - 37 pts in 42 games

Clearly a cut behind Johnson offensively. Got 4 inches on him and about 20lbs. Don't know anything else about Lindberg yet.

Both will be in the AHL with the Marlies next year.

 

[Jaynki]

Lindberg impressed me a lot during last year Memorial Cup.

I could see a middle sixer with size and speed in him. Could be a great wild card for TOR in the Phaneuf trade.

 

[Mugzy97]

The next Ponikarovsky?

Its not like he was doing poorly before though, he's still having a good rookie season. Kempe, Barbashev, Petan, Goldobin, Peca, and many more rookies are right there with him production wise. You're right though I'm interested in seeing him with Nylander too.
