G Carl Lindbom - Henderson Silver Knights, AHL (VGK, 222th overall in 2021)

[De Montreal]

We need to talk seriously about this young 20 year old. Late pick in 2021, could become a steal. Played well for Sweden at WJC last year, but what is impressive is his showing with the pros since last year.

One of the better goalie in Swe-1 last year. Best goalie in the SHL this year. Lead the league for GAA (1,45 GAA) and SV% (93,0).

Was at Vegas camp few months ago.

Callling it now : he will be a STAR, 3-4 year from now.

I picked him in my dynasty hockey league a few weeks back. Dobber had a lot of high praise for him in his prospect report this past summer which Lindbom has followed up with a fantastic start to this season.

A good day to post this thread as he went on to get a SO.

Also got his first games in with the NT last week. G1 was rough and he got pulled, but it wasn't on him. Awful is too kind of a word for how Sweden's skaters played.

Still wild that Vegas got to steal him that late, the only negative going for him really was his height which is on the lower end for NHL tenders today.

Recorded another shutout (2nd of the season) monday against Örebro

This guy is awesome.

Pretty good breakdown on why he's so good:

 

[theslatcher]

Started off this season well from camp to the AHL, then was hurt long term.

After coming back it took him some games to return to form, has a .950 and a shutout the last 4 games, where he has been facing 40 shots on average (all games have ended in regulation).

Playing for Henderson (which alongside Bridgeport are by far the worst teams in the AHL) so not getting much help in front of him.

6-1-0 in last 7, and last 2 he played was also back-to-back games. Which means he's at a .500 with a 9-9-1 record now.

Henderson is 8-18-1 without him (Schmid is 6-15-1).

On a 7 game winning streak now (.927 sv% during it), 10-1-0 in last 11 games.
