Bandwagon38 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Total dark horse to make the team this year! Watch out vets in September! Was a shame Gadj wasn’t on the ice tonight. Still nursing the hand a bit but would have been nice to see his improved skating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hopefully he becomes a James Neal type of player, bonafide 20goal scorer with a bit of an edge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lind Gadj Woo these guys would be the top of our prospect pool years ago - but now we have such highend guys in front of them it's going to allow them to develop with less pressure and to do it the right way in our new farm system.. pretty awesome organizational transformation if you ask me. I am so high on these three kids too. Exciting times for us coming soon. That Demko suggests your list of three should be a list of four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is only 185 lbs. Lind is only 19 and is already bigger than that with the possibility of being way bigger. But in terms of play style that would be good.

Hoping Gadj is that guy Yes, Lind plays with an edge, and also had a reputation in the WHL as a pest. Quite the trash talker and really throws off the opponents (taunts the fans a lot too). I've watched him live quite a bit this season and he's always engaged somehow physically or always in the middle of scrums and unfortunately some liberties taken on him. Aside from that, he's as fast and skilled with the puck as Simmonds, though Lind is definitely the better playmaker at the same age than Simmonds was. that's just my take on Lind. Hoping for a productive year in Utica with him along with Dahlen, Gadjovich etc Edited July 8, 2018 by Odd. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGT68 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Simmonds isn't a bad comparable for Lind's game. I see a little more Burrows than Simmonds. But something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for a productive year in Utica with him along with Dahlen, Gadjovich etc This is what we need... I'm so hoping that our team turns into a mix of Flyers, Bruins and Jets hockey, with a sprinkle of finesse.... So far except for our ultra skilled players, we are starting to look a lot tougher down the road. Lind, Gadjovich, Palmu, Beagle, Virtanen, Roussell, Schaller, Woo, Guddy, Trym (maybe), Gunnarson and even the none fighters have size Bo, Brock, Gaunce, Edler etc. God its going to be so much fun to watch this team. In a year or two we will be a team nobody want to play.... and with a bit of luck we will be the ones dishing it out, all while we try to get to the promised land. Except for Pettersson it will be hard to find a forward who isn't going to be able to throw his weight around. Yes.... my dreams are coming through. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 went back a few pages, looking for any updates on his size and weight if any one has this? elite prospects has him at 6ft1 and 185lbs but I am sure he is heavier than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the edginess is there, but Lind is an overall better player than Roussel offensively speaking. Roussel is more of a $&!# disturber, Lind can be that but that's not primarily his game. Lind is almost like a Kesler in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelowna used Lind in all situations, PP and PK time etc. He's very cerebral and poised. There's really not much to not like about his game. I t think he starts the year in Utica and maybe gets called up here and there throughout the season. I'm curious to see if he can translate his game to the AHL level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
