I went with Lomberg. He's reminds me of Scott Nichol a little bit. Similarly to Lomberg, Nichol toiled in the AHL until he was about 26, then caught on with the Flames and surprisingly went on to play in the NHL for 11 seasons. Outside of an anomalous 22 goal season, he put up almost identical AHL numbers as Lomberg did.

Scott Nichol AHL: GP 398 -- Pts 203 -- PPG 0.51 -- PIMs Per Game 2.59
Ryan Lomberg A: GP 198 -- Pts 108 -- PPG 0.54 -- PIMs Per Game 1.78

Same size, both can skate, both small but scrappy. Both seem to be liked by the coaches and their teammates. I don't see a guy like Lindstrom as a better bet than Lomberg who has had a ton of exposure to the coaches and GM and continues to be offered contracts.
