It’s that time of year again and I’m here to kick off our Top 25 Under 25 Series with Gustav Lindstrom! Lindstrom (that hurts to type) was just picked up by the Wings in the 2017 draft. He was somewhat of a surprise being drafted in the 2nd round when he was projected to go in the 3rd or 4th rounds, but we have Hakan Andersson so who cares what the “experts” think!
