As the annual draft approaches, where the Montreal Canadiens will select fifth overall, attention is focused on Cayden Lindstrom, a powerful center who has sparked keen interest according to several internal sources.
Lindstrom possesses all the desired attributes: imposing stature, plays center, evident talent, and exemplary work ethic.
However, there is major concern about his health, as he was sidelined multiple times last season due to health issues.
Today, a revelation from Corey Pronman on The Athletic Hockey Show reveals that Lindstrom didn't just suffer from a muscle injury as previously thought, but actually had a herniated disc, a much more serious condition.
This development marks a crucial turning point, as this injury, often chronic, could seriously jeopardize an athlete's career longevity.
