I think he simply sees Lindstrom as a non can't miss prospect
There's such a high turnover rate on hockey teams it really isn't worth projecting 5 years into the future as if we can know anything for certain of the make-up of the team at all. Generally the only players who stay on teams longer-term are the really good players. And even then, there is a lot more turnover with them than there used to be.
I’m more worried about rushing the rebuild than about pushing it off. They need a funnel but the main thing is to get a few high end players who can drive the team. Once you get those all the complementary players do better and gain value.
What he meant was that if Lindstrom isn’t a center in the NHL, does he still have the advantage over the other prospects, in that case Sennecke for the debate.The Sennecke / Lindstrom debate episode with Grant is a bit funny for me, one of the arguments is Lindstrom isn’t as good as Dach because he doesn’t have the playmaking ability Dach has, he’s more of a goal scorer.
I’m like wouldn’t you want these two guys playing together then?
I’m not a fan of Sennecke’s shot, I think he’d be an amazing prospect for any team that drafts him though
Yeah his arguments make no sense. Why would you want this good player if you already have good players. You need 12 forwards old man.The Sennecke / Lindstrom debate episode with Grant is a bit funny for me, one of the arguments is Lindstrom isn’t as good as Dach because he doesn’t have the playmaking ability Dach has, he’s more of a goal scorer.

He is already destroying the MHL at 17-18 years old..... Making him go back to the MHL next year will be a waste of time for him....

I also found it entertaining that Grant kept showing Sennecke dangling OHL opponents and gushing over him while criticizing Lindstrom only scoring one “wow” goal. So you’re saying Lindstrom is better at scoring goals the way 95% of NHL goals are scored?
Pretty sure the 55 point remark was in regards to floor. He later compared his upside to Keith Primeau.
Yeah, Primeau was a ~55 point player. He said it’s his upside, which is lower than Senneckle but the floor is higher.
What do you think Lindstroms point production ceiling is? Both guys said 70ish points for Lindstroms upside, but with the added caveat of being a physical beast and centerman.
Looks great, I don't think Zeev is there at 14 though. I think it would be a choice between MBN, Sennecke and Chernyshov at that rank.Just completed my first draft sim of the year on Draft Simulator.
My strategy was to trade every useless pick and this is what happened :

Imo targetting an additional pick in the 10-15 range should be our #1 priority going into the draft, even if it means trading our 1st back a few spots(assuming Lindstrom and Demidov are gone). The pack from 5-15 is so close that I wouldn't be shocked whatsoever if the player taken at 15 ends up better than whoever's taken from 5-10.Just completed my first draft sim of the year on Draft Simulator.

There could be a significant dropper in that range. Maybe this year, it’ll require a bigger overpay than most other years for the reason you gave however Hughes is sitting on a lot of ammo so he can afford it.
