Lindbom was one of the best goaltenders at the U18 international tournament this past year. He posted a 1.66 goals against average and a .948 save percentage.
Lindbom has fantastic instincts, high hockey IQ and is very positionally sound for his age. He seems to be a guy who is right up Benoit Allaire’s ally. The problem with this pick is that it appears to have been a reach. He is very raw at 17 years old and won’t be anywhere close to MSG for at least four or five years.
