understandable, and we've been there before. Remember Ryan Howse? Incredibly lopsided junior stats (140 goals and 77 assists over his WHL career), could never figure it out at the pro level.
As for Lindstrom, it wouldn't worry me though. He had more assists than goals both in the CSSHL two years ago (25+35) and in the WHL last season (19+23), he just seems to have gone on a bit of a scoring spree this year.
Outside of Celebrini and maybe one or two others, I'm sprinting to the podium if he's on the board. Feels like a great center prospect to build around and I'd love the Flames to be in a position to draft him.
