Even if they pick outside the top-3 or top-4, they're going to get a fantastic prospect. Someone like Lindholm could have as much upside as anyone in the draft and would instantly become the best forward prospect the Flames have had in a very long time.

I like Lindholm. Has impressive puck skills and does things at speed. At first I saw a player who was an open ice guy, using the big sheet of ice to his advantage. But after watching him some more he does so many positive things with the puck, and at speed, that I think he could adjust to the North American game. I agree on your assessment of where he would be skill wise with the Flames. Very skilled player that really fills a need for the hockey club. He's a guy that you invest a top 10 pick in. He could be a game breaker.
