SUNRISE, FL – JUNE 27: Jesper Lindgren poses for a portrait after being selected 95th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2015 NHL Draft at BB /

D- Jesper Lindgren, 22, 6’1, 176- AHL (GP; 21, G; 1, A; 5, PTS; 6)

Three months into the season and not much has changed with Lindgren. This isn’t to say that Jesper hasn’t been developing, it’s ok to be under the radar sometimes, as a defenceman.

When coming over from European ice to North American, there is always going to be some difficulties.

Luckily, Jesper plays exactly how the Toronto Maple Leafs play, meaning his door will always be open for opportunities, especially by being a right handed defenceman.

There isn’t much to update with Lindgren, but sometimes no news is good news.

ETA; 2021-2022/ 2022-23, It’s hard to project Lindgren’s development here, he plays the Leafs style of hockey and is a right handed defensemen, both bode well for him.

Scouting report; Lindgren plays a silky smooth game, he is mobile and smart with puck moving. He’s a hybrid of Anton Stralman and a very poor man’s Erik Karlsson
