That's the thing. I don't think thered be much of a conversation about Lindstrom vs. Catton or any other player if he got his games played comparatively. Even if he produced a little under Catton at 1.5 ppg, the rankings would have him top 5 regardless. The fact he's still lingering in the top 8 or 9 on most rankings with only 37 gp should say all there needs to be said.
Reality is, he's missed a ton of time, he's still ranked higher for a reason. If he drops because of injury, I think it's worth the risk in the 8-13 range.
Honestly, if the Flames land a top 10 pick, I'll be happy with almost any of the kids ranked 1-15. Id prefer to land a center or a D man before a winger though, at least a winger not named Demidov.
Personally, I'm hoping for that old secondary draft lottery win where you can jump up 3 spots. Just an overall better chance at getting your player.
