BUFFALO, N.Y. – There might not be a player who needed to have a bigger NHL Draft Combine week than Cayden Lindstrom .
That’s music to the ears of the teams picking in the No. 4-10 range, with Lindstrom expected to go quite early on June 28 in the Sphere in Vegas. But a back injury just before Christmas kept him out of action until the end of March, with Lindstrom skating in four games against Red Deer in the playoffs. Lindstrom had just a goal and an assist, but showed he still had the fire inside of him to be as competitive as possible even when the offense wasn’t there anymore.
“You watch the way he moves, and hits and commands the puck and that’s the type of modern-day forward teams crave,” a scout said. “The guy that makes him so difficult to play against while having the skill and the hockey IQ to drive the play.”
