I think that as far as the forwards are concerned, I think that Catton and Eiserman have an elite skill that Lindstrom doesn't have. The closest to Lindstrom is Iginla as far as skills/grit type of player. And while right now, it's not the most brillant way of analysing things, I have a really hard time with Lindstrom skating technique AND somehow not convinced he'll be able to bring his offensive game to the NHL. Having said that...he's not in the 2nd round either. He's top 10 in my books 'cause you can fix skating. But right now I believe we're too enamoured with the size.
Then, you have to add Parekh who has done something insane this year, you have to respect that and I think his defensive liabilities are overblown. And one of my favorite player of the whole draft for his complete game is Buium. Though....he might be another one who is not elite in anything...but he's insanely great everywhere.
For me, the highest you have in a top 10, the highest I want my guys to be first and foremost offensive. The only thing that can happen till the end is Iginla dropping a little 'cause after a few more vids, I could become skeptical of that offense. Who would benefit it? Maybe Lindstrom. Levshunov....he's a talented kid for sure. But he's one in there that shows his age so much....really inconsistent in my viewings.
Yet, again, they are all in my top 10. When it's time to rank, I need to find the little detail to do so. Frankly, as much as I do have a man crush on Iginla and Buium, at this point, we would pick Lindstrom and there will be great reasons to do so.
