Senators fans are desperately hoping Lindberg can become a full-time NHLer, mostly because he was Ottawa’s 4th round pick that they acquired along with Cory Conacher in the Ben Bishop deal, so he’s the only thing Ottawa has left to salvage in that trade. It’s not like fans are grasping at straws either, as Lindberg was very impressive for the Memorial Cup champion Oshawa Generals. He had 78 points in 67 games, and was one of Oshawa’s best players in their playoff run.
He’s one of Ottawa’s better prospects and the next step he has to take is succeed in the AHL. If he can put up around 40-50 points next year in Binghamton then that’ll be major progress for his career. He’s an important prospect as he’s a big winger that the organization loves.
