Here is a scouting report from one of our European correspondents, Alex Nunn, followed by a few thoughts from me.
Alex:
Michael Lindqvist made an impressive step-up to the SHL with Färjestad last season scoring a team-high 20 goals, good for tied-fifth among all league skaters while playing significantly fewer games than most due to mid-year injury. His production was perhaps a little too special-teams reliant, but he’s a player who can punish in all situations nonetheless.
Although too a solid (if unspectacular) playmaker, Lindqvist’s bread and butter is his high-end release.
