The line has ended for Linus Lindstrom, the Flames’ fourth round pick in this most recent draft. Over in Sweden, he was a contributor to Skelleftea AIK, who start their playoffs on Sunday. There’s not a lot known about Lindstrom, and there certainly isn’t a lot of hype surrounding him, but he should definitely be on your radar.
A brief history
Linus has always been a bit of a line skipper. With his hometown club Skelleftea AIK, he cracked the U16s at 14, the U18s at 15, and the U20s at 16. In his draft year, he finished seventh in the Superelit (Sweden’s CHL, essentially) for scoring, and lead his team with 44 points in 40 games.
