Damn straight!
I still think they have to go BPA at this point - true that they have to strengthen the organization as a whole, but can't be of the mindset that "we have to draft 2 dmen in 2nd". Players will develop in their own time.
Lindblom would be a nice snag with the second 2nd rnder. Good size, all-around forward. Not flashy, but has offensive acumen(almost PPG in recent WJ U18s & 6 Goals in 7 playoff games - SWE U20).

FC Hockey had this to say:
"Lindblom is a powerful skater with a strong, two-way game. He isn't shy to do the dirty work and is a pain to move out from in front of the net. He gets himself open to create offensive chances but isn't overly flashy. (August 2013)"
