Prospect Info: [2022 - 92nd] Adam Engstrom (SHL - Rogle BK)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

He's from Djurgardens not Rogle, eliteprospects has a rumor that he will be traded to Rogle but it hasn't happened yet.

Elite Prospects has him at Rogle next year.

Edit: at the bottom of their page in the Transactions section, they say it's a Rumor. But they still have him listed at Rogle for next year.
 
Jarmo takes Jordan Dumais a few picks later. The Fin take the Québec guy, and our geniuses follow Rockstrom once again over our two impotent Qubec scouts, Audette and Boisvert.

Bergevin or HuGo, the same thing, Cedric Guindon, the late rounds guy from Québec to shut up the journalists. The guy to pick was Dumais. You won't hit a Joshua Roy every year at #150.
Dumais will be lucky to keep up with play in the AHL

That's assuming he doesn't improve his skating. Not much else holding him back from making the NHL to be honest. The risk is worth the reward at 92 IMO.

I don't know anything about Engstrom though, so we'll see!

Bobrov seems to think he's got offense

From the sounds of it his offensive skills are pretty average. He hasn't really been an offensive D at any level, but he plays a good enough defensive game.

The Hockey Writers did a profile on him.

 
Never a fan of these off the board picks. Have rarely seen these ever workout. It's one thing if it's an older player with good numbers but these types I don't know. We are just about to let go Vejdemo so maybe his replacement.
Many thought Romanov was an off the board pick. The Engstrom pick was in crap shoot territory so I’m trusting the folks who kept an eye on him saw something good in him.

Hockey Prospect has a good write up on him as well. Good size, competes, decent skater, some offensive upside. Playing for a different team next year and HP thinks he’ll have better opportunity for offensive role.
 
Wanted to stop by and say Engstrom was a solid pick in the 3rd round. I have developed a model that identifies undervalued D (basically outside the top 50). Engstrom and Jake Furlong were the two standouts in this draft (Frederick Brunet also scored well as an over-ager).

Engstrom scored well because his statistics indicate he is positionally very sound and contributed offensively. His strong playoffs confirmed what the numbers from the regular season indicated. The few scouting reports I have read (Black Book, The Hockey Writers) also confirmed the model.
 
Is he related to Craig Ludwig?

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that taking this guy ahead of Lindgren was a bad choice. Hell, even ahead of Forsmark. Seems like the work of Christer.

Yeah, Lindgren was a no brainer there. I'm gonna keep an eye here though, 'cause it would be nice if they just saw something no one else did here.
