The Ducks are very high on the sixth overall pick in the 2012 Draft but will exercise caution in dealing with the prized prospect. Lindholm came to North America and played with the Ducks farm team in Norfolk before going back to Europe for the tournament. He was hurt in a pre-competition match against Canada after scoring a goal and adding four helpers in 17 AHL games.

Hampus Lindholm has been assigned to the minors by Anaheim.

The Ducks' first-round pick, sixth overall, in the 2012 draft still has a year left on his contract with Rogle BK in Sweden, but they want to see how he plays in North America against AHLers after being impressed with his play during summer scrimmages. If he performs well with Norfolk then it's reasonable to think he may get a look with Anaheim once the NHL resumes business.

Rookie defenseman Hampus Lindholm has impressed the Ducks brass in summer scrimmages already.

Lindholm was a surprise selection as the sixth overall pick at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but Ducks management believes they have found themselves a great player, despite passing on more highly-touted prospects. "A few of those kids might have a little higher offensive upside," said Martin Madden, the Ducks’ director of amateur scouting. "One of them in particular. But overall, nobody is as strong in every aspect of the game at this point and projecting forward."

Hampus Lindholm was surprised to be taken so early in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

"I had talked with Anaheim before, so I knew they were interested," Lindholm said. "I didn’t know they were going to pick me so early. They said I should go between 10 and 15. Anaheim is a good team. It’s going to be fun. It was a happy moment to be picked sixth." Lindholm is expected to spend the 2012-13 season playing in the Swedish Elite League.

The Anaheim Ducks drafted Hampus Lindholm with the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft.

Lindholm's development in the past year has caught the eyes of scouts and NHL teams alike. He is a great puck-moving defenseman who excels in the transition game. While he's not exactly like fellow countryman Erik Karlsson, he makes strong, accurate passes and processes the game well under pressure. He has good size, but isn't very physical. He should improve his work along the boards and his ability to separate his man from the puck. Overall, he's a strong prospect whose development should excite whichever team drafts him. To some, the Ducks "reached" a bit for Lindholm but after trading away Lubomir Visnovsky, an already-thin blueline corps needed more to work with. The future's looking brighter there already.
