Again. Lindgren signing is out of the whole amateur scouting system. The Habs liked him, last season they saw they were thin behind Price. The plan was to hire a NHL backup with experience, send Condon down in the AHL with Lindgren and send Fucale to the ECHL. Fucale showed a clear problem of consistency, but his best games were those of a very good prospect. Management knew that and saw no harm in sending him down. In fact it was a wake up call to the kid and it seems he heard the message clearly. All that being said, the fact remains that Fucale is well ahead of McNiven. He just won the Spengler Cup against teams that were at least of AHL caliber. Who knows if he will not end the year with Lindgren in the AHL?
