If the Habs draft him, as others have mentioned, a lot will depend on training camp. I personally think there wouldn't be that much benefit to him returning to junior, but given the CHL/NHL agreement that players below 20 (or that haven't completed 4 CHL seasons) HAVE to go back to junior as opposed to the AHL, I guess the discussion really boils down to, do you want Lindstrom dominating against boys and gain confidence, or start learning the pro game early where he may or may not flourish. Sending him back to junior is the safe bet but letting him get NHL games at age 18-19 is a high risk high reward move.
