  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.

    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

The sixth overall pick in the 2020 WHL Draft, Red Deer Rebels forward Kalan Lind would probably like a “do over” on his draft year. Things started well enough, with Lind playing for Team Canada at the Hlinka-Gretzky Tournament. However, a midseason injury cost him two months during the regular season. He was again injured in the playoffs, being on the end of a headshot and missing time as the Rebels were eliminated. It wasn’t the draft season that Lind envisioned.
​
Lind was very good when on the ice though, producing numbers in the WHL. He scored 16 goals and 28 assists for 44 points in 43 games. Lind also added two goals and three assists for five points in 10 playoff games. This came on the heels of a successful season as a 16-year-old in 2021-22. He scored 20 goals and 38 points in 61 regular-season games. Lind also added one goal and six points in 10 playoff games.

Not making the playoffs in your final year as an NHL-drafted player seems somewhat rare... graduating guys usually get traded at the deadline. But anyway, with all his injuries... he's a scrappy guy, but maybe just the way he plays in a sort of ectomorphic body leaves him vulnerable to getting hurt. He hasn't progressed much in his final 3 seasons, granted Red Deer has been getting progressively worse at the same time. You kind of want to see more from an NHL 2nd rounder at age 20 in junior. Hopefully he puts on some weight in the summer and stays healthy next year, whether with Milwaukee or Atlanta. :crossfing
