Prospect Info: Cayden Lindstrom

[koteka]

I think they probably factored in a lot of uncertainty.

Personally I thought he might have lingering injury issues, but even if he does there's still a chance he is very useful in spurts, and perhaps very useful when it matters some years down the road in the playoffs. That possibility wasn't enough for me to rank him ahead of Demidov, but he was still top 5 for me even with some significant injury risk included. Lindstrom is just that good of a prospect.

I had him as my pick, but I decided near the draft that he was too risky. After he was picked I was hoping that the CBJ used competent doctors to evaluate him. Just because he isn’t playing yet doesn’t mean the doctors were bad, but it isn’t a good sign. I would appreciate an honest announcement about his current prognosis with percentages of his likelihood to fully recover and timelines as well as a percentage that he won’t ever play hockey. I doubt we ever get that, and Lindstrom does have a right to medical privacy. I hope the new regime is seriously evaluating how we decided he was our pick. I am not ready to call it a bad choice because we seriously lack information.

because we seriously lack information.

This has stopped us when?
