No, I don't think you're crazy, because I like him, too.

I have concerns about his production. I can see the skill, and combined with the size he's an appealing prospect.

He's one who tends to feed off who he's playing with at least on offense, he may never be one who will take over a game.

Looks like Lindblom had a goal in his first game back with Brynas. That's 10 points in 19 games for an 18 year old kid in a men's league. Even some of the best euro prospects don't put up those kinds of numbers with their big clubs, and while brynas are one of the lower teams this year in the SHL so he probably gets more play time than a kid would get on a good team there's something to be said about production.

Adrian Kempe who was taken in the same draft has 15 points in 32 games for Modo doing equally bad in the SHL this year, and he was taken in the 1st round by the Kings, Rantanen for TPS in Liiga has 13 points in 33 games and is considered by many a top 10 prospect in this upcoming draft (same age as Lindblom who was born 2 months earlier) and he already has a full year in the men's league from last year when this is really lindblom's first taste with the big boys having only played in 4 games for the Brynas top team last year.

Obviously it shows how teams look at potential and skill level, but boy Lindblom is looking like a nice little steal for this team.

edit: just saw the highlights... pretty damn sweet goal it was, basically made his way through the entire Djurgardens defense and scored a top shelf backhand.

Good stuff here. From what I've watched of him and everything I've heard he could be the perfect fit on the top line with G and jake. Sniping ability, great hand eye, knows when and where to be in scoring areas. Like they said he is really really good from the blue line and in. Maybe we are looking at 16-17 season him on the top line

That's why I have him around 11-13 or so.

My ten, subject to change:

1. McDavid
2. Eichel
3. Hanifin
4. Marner
5. Kylington
6. Strome
7. Zacha
8. Werenski
9. Rantanen
10 Roy

From 7-15 there's a lot of fluidity.

Even the top 10 is not solid but that's fine, plenty of time to go.........but now is the time to put some focus on the draft prospects

Yeah, also have no idea where the Flyers end up picking. It'd be nice if they can get Marner or Strome and then deal Coburn for a late first rounder to have a shot at Greenway, Sprong or Bittner later on.

I'd like a shot at Filip Ahl, Nikita Korostelev, MacKenzie Blackwood, or Rasmus Andersson

He was the other name I was thinking of, and the goalie, MacKenzie Blackwood.

The more you keep looking the more we could be really happy with what they could do again like the last draft.

this team will look VASTLY different in 3-4 years. i can't wait.

Obviously it shows how teams look at potential and skill level, but boy Lindblom is looking like a nice little steal for this team.
