Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?

Lindstein is an unspectacular but solid two-way defenseman whose well-rounded and mature game helped him get into 49 SHL games before he was drafted and became a 16-to-20-minute defender at the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan level two seasons ago. After playing well in a second-pairing role in Brynäs’ promotion back into the SHL, Lindstein played to good results in a full-time role there as a 19/20-year-old in the SHL last season. He was also an alternate captain and a big part of Sweden’s top four at U18 worlds; made a huge impression at the World Juniors in Gothenburg, showing some real offense and getting named to the tournament all-star team (he was on my ballot, too) after he was originally not even named to Team Sweden before a pair of injuries opened up a spot; and wore a letter and played on their shutdown pair as a returnee at last year’s tournament in Ottawa. Next season, he’ll play in the AHL with Springfield.
