Cayden Lindstrom's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - June 11th: "The reason I have Lindstrom at nine is due to the fact I’m not sure if he is a centre at the NHL level. Rather, I see him on the receiving end of passes from a playmaking centre who moves him the puck in high danger areas, leaving him to score goals accordingly."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - June 11th: "It was a bit of a lost season for Lindstrom, mostly because of a back injury that sidelined him for the second half of the regular season, but he still scored 27 goals in 32 games, and the 18-year-old already is back on the ice training for next season after returning to play four games during the Western Hockey League playoffs."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - June 11th: "He had 46 points (27 goals, 19 assists) in 32 games prior to getting injured and had two points (one goal, one assist) and 17 shots on goal in four WHL playoff games."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "Multiple injuries over the course of the season have impacted Lindstrom’s stock some, but there’s very little questioning the immense upside you can see in his game. As a 6-foot-4 center with good skating ability and hand skills, there’s a lot to like."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He can play off of the puck, take up space in front and make plays in tight, or jump into space off the rush with his skating, play on the cycle and stay over pucks to help his team maintain possession inside the offensive zone, create in transition — putting defenders on their heels with a head of steam — and even make skill plays from a standstill inside the offensive zone getting to the inside (a real strength). He's a strong, powerful skater who can pull away in open ice and win races."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "Lindstrom has good offensive skills, and can score goals. His playmaking is something I've questioned at times although he's shown good instances this season. He has the potential to be a true No. 1 center if he hits although I don't see a lot of NHL centers who play the way he does and I could see him get pushed to the wing."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "He’s an absolute monster out there, and scouts love the potential for him to be a high-scoring wrecking ball. Scouts see him as a No. 1 center down the line."

Luke Sweeney - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "In-zone is where Lindstrom’s tools really shine, getting off the boards into the middle of the ice frequently, using excellent body positioning and puck protection, winning pucks back deep in-zone, and showing small-area puckhandling and awareness that would be the envy of many smaller players."

Central Scouting - Apr. 16th: "An impressive physical package with high-end skill. Rare combination of size, skill and high-end athleticism. Strong skater with explosiveness who can quickly create separation with the puck. Plays on the top line and the number one power-play unit."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Apr. 15th: "He skates like the wind, plays a physical brand of hockey, has a heavy shot and has developed a nice playmaking touch. Lindstrom seamlessly blends the power and downhill attacking game with a skilled finesse approach, decking and dangling in space. He is a lot to handle for opposing defenders."
