• Elias Lindholm, whom I have ranked No. 5 overall, was the best interview I heard all weekend. When asked about his season, he used words like "we" and "us" and never referred to any personal achievements. He was always crediting his successful season to those he played with. His comments were sincere while giving an honest and real assessment of his play. When asked if he plays like Henrik Zetterberg (a player I have likened him to in the past), he was quick to talk about how good Zetterberg is and had a hard time comparing himself to such a star player. He appeared humbled. That appeals to scouts.

Sounds like this kid has a lot of character in addition to his talent.
