Kinda shocked how he's already considered a bust by a fair portion of the social media community on reddit/twitter. There is legit a poster on reddit I am pretty sure is having a nervous meltdown over this pick.
At the end of the day all these kids are lotto picks and he checks off ALOT of boxes if he hits (and personally I has been a favorite for me the past few monhts)

He must have told Marshawn Lynch about his 40 yard sprint time.

Besides skin color? Not well
Both big and athletic. Byfield has better hands and playmaking. Lindstrom has more goal scoring ability and more naturally aggressive

I expanded my post a little without going into crazy detail. Have some similar qualities but accomplidh what they do on the ice in very different ways. Byfield would be a menace if he had any sort of meanstreak, dude could be a bully
He doesn't have the super smooth handling and refined playmaking of Byfield. While Byfield isn't a physical player. Byfield has to be pushed to use his body, Lindstrom doesn't. He plays the power forward game instinctively. He loves to hit. And Lindstrom is a better shooter too.
Excited to see what Lindstrom can do, and hoping he can stay healthy. I would have leaned to Demidov, but acknowledge the scouting staff has more information than I do. At the end of the day I'm a Jackets fan, so I hope this kid lights the league on fire!

Hey Lindstrom - see you in 2, 3 years after you finish your junior career.

When can an NHL prospect play in the AHL?

I think there's a good chance he's in the NHL D+2.
I will wager more on the D+3, really hoping I am wrong but I feel there will be a few more injuries (not his back) that will set him back. Just an uneasy feeling.
I am not too happy to draft Lindstrom. Understand me right, I like similar players but I am nervous because of his back. That is the only reason.
When Eric Lindros was picked by Quebec in 1991, and refused to sign there, there was speculation that it would be bad for him to go back to junior because he would let up physically on a league he'd already dominated and at the same time guys would all be taking runs at him, trying to make their mark.
If Cayden Lindstrom has an injury or two, it wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me for any prospect really, most of them get hurt once or twice.
I think he might be a good bet to stay with Columbus in his D+2, maybe not playing as many games, maybe adding in some AHL games (conditioning loan) or a WJC tournament. He might be one of those rare cases where he's better off developing on the roster of his NHL team and learning in that setting without playing a full schedule. That will be a huge issue for most fans but I don't think development is linear with games played, I think keeping a prospect fit and fresh and taking things step by step is better.
