Lindblom has never actually played poorly at any stretch in his short NHL career. Hakstol just demoted him for reasons. It’s not like he doesn’t play heavy or defensively responsible.
Lindblom was invisible way more often than he was visible. Hopefully that’s changing, but he lost ice time for a reason.
He had a couple good games mixed with a majority of nondescript performances. He was not making the lines he was on better, which you’d think he’d be capable of.He was “invisible” because he wasn’t scoring while getting 8 mins a night with fourth liners. He was always playing fine and he was playing well and scoring when he got demoted.

You keep saying this but it is not true.Lindblom was invisible way more often than he was visible. Hopefully that’s changing, but he lost ice time for a reason.
Lindblom had a small sample of points. If you think he played consistently like a 2nd liner on a Cup contender, I fully disagree.You keep saying this but it is not true.
He was producing as a 2nd liner at ES when he got demoted. Demoted for Weise who is now in the AHL I might add.
As Appleyard showed, play him, and he produces.

Even in those 8 minute a night games he was rock solid defensively and rarely made a mistake. He has never been a detriment to the team when on the ice unlike several other forwards this year.
The team, other than the goalies, has played worse since he was fired.
If Hakstol was an idiot, he wouldn't have gotten to the playoffs 2 of 3 years with a mediocre team.
He may have had his share of flaws, but he wasn't the horrid coach people make him out to be.

Lindblom played 14:35 last year under, ahem, Hakstol.
He played 12:39 in October, 12:31 in November, seems signing JVR cut into his minutes for some reason.
In December under Hakstol he played 6g - 9:18; under Gordon, 7g - 8:33.
In January he played 14:14, primarily b/c Giroux moved to center so he moved up the food chain.
Patrick played 15:30 a night the last 32 games of last season
He was playing 15 minutes a night under Hakstol, in January that fell to 13:22

Arguing for Hakstol is like arguing for parachute pants and 8-tracks, you’re just on the wrong side of history bro.
He probably supported HD DVD over Blu-ray too lol
