Cayden Lindstrom is not the only forward invited to dinner by the Montreal Canadiens as part of the interest evaluation meeting (Combine) that is in full swing in Buffalo.
Jarome Iginla’s son Tij told our journalist Anthony Martineau that he also deserved this honor.
Iginla is one of the Habs’ options at fifth, along with Lindstrom, Ivan Demidov, Beckett Sennecke and Berkly Catton.
The striker for the Kelowna Rockets in the Western Hockey League (WHL) is ranked ninth on the North American list of NHL Central Scouting.
He says he can play all positions, although he prefers to play center and would like to see himself flanked by Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield in Montreal.
In 64 games with the Rockets this season, Iginla has 84 points, including 47 goals. In the playoffs, he has 15 points, including nine goals, in 11 games.
