He should be a good player but this team needs a skilled line driver, I just don't see that in Lindstrom

Lindstrom's skating is terrible. Really choppy and short stride, and generally awkward looking. Doesn't have the elite edgework to compensate for his poor mechanics.
His skating reminds me a lot of Michael Dal Colle and Keiffer Bellows, although his raw speed is better than Bellows at the same age.
If the Flames are picking 8-10, Lindstrom seems like too much of a project to waste such a high pick on.
