At just 17 years old, Cayden Lindstrom is already drawing intriguing comparisons to the talented Juraj Slafkovsky.
Although the Montreal Canadiens’ current rankings do not place them in an ideal position to move up in the next draft, Lindstrom’s emergence in the Top 5 might well be a missed opportunity for the Tricolores.
With an imposing physique of 6-foot-3, 216 pounds, Lindstrom is eerily reminiscent of Slafkovsky on the ice.
However, according to some observers, the young prodigy might even surpass the current Canadiens player.
I think the scariest part regarding Cayden Lindstrom is that he’s going to be even better than Slafkovsky + he got that magnificent mean streak.
The sad part is that he won’t be available for the habs…#GoHabsGo pic.twitter.com/26jYSefqxt

Lindstrom stands out for his physical power, his expertise along the boards, his exceptional commitment and his remarkable skating.
In addition to his imposing stature, his speed on the ice makes him formidable in one-on-one situations, destabilizing WHL defenders.
His quick hands and versatility add a promising dimension to his game, setting the stage for a successful transition to the next level, the NHL.
Unfortunately for the Montreal Canadiens, their current rank in the standings does not place them in an ideal position to select Lindstrom in the draft.
However, hockey fans will certainly have their eyes on this young talent in the coming seasons.
Although Lindstrom might be the NHL’s future sensation, as fate would have it, he may not be available for the Habs.
His meteoric rise in the hockey world suggests potential that might eclipse even the expectations placed on Juraj Slafkovsky.
The Canadian, despite the challenges of the draft lottery, may have to regret his combativeness in the rankings and not being able to secure the services of this young prodigy in the making.
