Cayden Lindstrom Media Availability
Look... I don't know if Lindstrom still has the same potential or not when he was drafted, maybe it just takes him a year or two longer to get there. Maybe he's just a potential middle six guy now. Maybe he doesn't even make the league. Who knows...
That being said, I'm rooting for him so hard. He's so goddamn likable. He's smart, funny, self-aware, humble, and determined. He has no misconceptions about where he's at in his developmental timeline. No misconceptions about what people think about him. No delusions of grandeur about how he's better than he actually is at the moment.
He admitted he didn't like how his season at MSU went and that he made some mistakes, acknowledged now that he has a year of hockey under his belt and that he feels healthy he has no excuses not to produce. Just a down to Earth dude that's been humbled by the situation and isn't afraid to open up about it and be brutally honest.
We don't need to talk about Demidov in this thread (I was always pro-Demidov for the record). I was just struck by how likable and honest he is.
