I can't believe that those measurements were not part of the camp. 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. I agree with everything Odd is saying but one thing. One little perspective change. I think the UFA signings signal that we are taking a more "classic Detroit model" thought pattern into player development. So I think there are young players that will get NHL looks this year. But I don't think a first year pro like Lind gets more than one NHL look this year a la Demko last year. I think Lind gets basically a whole year in Utica this year and is an up and down player next year. If he does well in both years then he can earn a spot on the big club in the third year. But I think they want a first pro year to be more about learning to be a pro, eating like a pro, practicing like a pro, training like a pro, thinking like a pro. A second pro year to be more about learning to translate the game to the NHL. I think Petterssen, Dahlen, Jasek, Gaudette, Palmu and Joulevi are seen as second and third pro year guys and are the guys who get NHL looks to NHL spots. While the Lind and Gadjovich are definitely seen as first pro year guys. Hughes may go back to NCAA or start in Utica because of this mindset or may just have the rules thrown out for such a unique player. But Lind has something to prove in the AHL this year. And I am curious to see how he develops and what his pro game looks like. Is he still a pest? Is he still a great transition guy? Is he still a sniper? Does his great two way and playmaking make him someone we try at Center? So many questions to answer and so much time. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 For me I’m seeing a Mark Stone ceiling comp. I know Lind is a little bit shorter but playing style seems similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 When Lind was drafted I thought he had the makings of a power forward. I think Wayne Simmonds is a good comparable. A bigger better playmaking Simmonds with a touch of Burrows mixed in like a couple of posters mentioned earlier. Wow, what a handful if he hits his ceiling! With his commitment to playing each game like it is his last, I have no doubt he hits it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt more than 3 rookies crack the lineup this year. 2 forwards and a d-man. I am really excited about Utica this year. So much youth that can bond as they prepare for future careers with the Canucks. The time line puts no pressure on adding a huge number of rookies on the Canucks. I prefer they establish their pro game in the AHL first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieChan Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Lind's problem is if he plays well enough to earn a spot in training camp, there is no spot for him on the second line, Petterssen will be try to earn the right wing spot on that line. There won't be a spot on the second line until for Lind until the team decides to move Pettersson to centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays well enough and outplays everyone else, including EP, he will be on whatever line he shows he belongs on. The one thing Green has shown is a willingness to move people up/down the lineup. Even the Sedins were no longer getting first line minutes and no question he deferred to them...but no else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think there is much chance Lind outplays Petterssen. Then again Lind can definitely play both wings. But then so can Jasek, and Dahlen plays left wing too. Lind is good and gonna be really good imho. Just would be a big surprise to grab a spot on the Canucks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be amazing if the likes of Lind, Dahlen, Jasek, and Gadjovich all come in and show that they are "near-ready" for the NHL. Others like MacEwen and Brisebois are likely to be knocking at the door as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlen is closest out of the 4 players i mentioned..Lets see how Kole plays in Utica, we all seen how the jump was at the end of the season GP 6 - 1 point....Big jump to AHL, glad Kole has worked hard this off season.. Jasek could surprise a lot of people in Utica this season.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lind is big enough and gritty enough to play 3rd line winger for a year or two before assuming his position on 2nd line RW for the next 10 years.
