Defense prospect Lindgren ‘really smart, consistent’

The Penguins on Tuesday acquired forward Kasperi Kapanen, forward Pontus Aberg, and defense prospect Jesper Lindgren from the Leafs.

The centerpiece of the deal is obviously Kapanen, and Dave, Dejan, and I have all written pieces on him joining the team. Then, given that Aberg is a pending restricted free agent and is under contract in the KHL next season, he might not ever play a game in the organization.

That leaves Lindgren. What kind of a player did the Penguins get with Lindgren? Let's take a look.
