32 points in 39 games (2018) is pretty food production for a 4th round pick.

But is it all about offense? What if he develops into a solid pker/4th line F? They obviously saw something they liked (apart from offense). All reports is that he’s a coach’s dream, high hockey iq, good person. Even if he maxed out as an ahler, you need guys like that on the farm.
Not signing Lindstrom is understandable, we had a pick and had to use it. But to trade up to select him and decline to sign him is bad asset management. I know, only a fourth rounder. But they could have kept that 2019 pick they traded to select Roman and used it on a player in the 2020 draft. Looks bad on the organization pissing a pick away, especially after trading a bunch away and having the cupboards pretty bare.
