Was Engstrom drafted in the CHL import draft by any chance?

I believe the only European prospects currently in the system that have been drafted in the CHL Import Draft are Slaf (Erie), Mesar (Kitchener) & Dichow (Sudbury).

Dichow was even supposed to come play here in 2019-20, but the OHL cancelled the whole season. So he ended up going back to Europe. And we can't say it wasn't the right move as he had a great year and is now in the SHL.

All other European prospects: Kapanen, Engstrom, Nurmi, Gordin, and Kostenko were never drafted in the CHL.

We already have Sobolev playing in Windsor.

Really really nice. Really excited to see his development. I mean look how easily, effortless and quite fast he reaches the spot he is when he shoots....

I've seen that Engstrom hasn't been in the lineup the past 2 times with the SHL club, not that I expected him to make the team as they have been one of the top teams in the SHL (along with Frolunda). Will be interesting to see what happens with him since his contract in Sweden ends in April, if he has a strong year will they want him to be Laval bound in '23-'24 or see him get some time in the SHL first since they have 4 years to sign him and Laval is likely going to be very crowded on the blueline.

Nice.

I saw he only played yesterday and today (they also played on Thursday, but he wasn't in the line-up for that). Yesterday, Sweden beat Slovakia 11-1 and Engstrom had 1 assist. Today, Sweden beat Finland 3-2, no points for Engstrom.

Looking forward to reading @Goldenhands report.

Started as the 7th defenseman and ended up on the 2nd pairing today against the Finns, will comment after watching that game but I liked the little I saw from this kid so far.

Just wondering if you were going to follow that train of thought and comment further...

Something went wrong with the zoom of the recording and the game was barely watchable, so players impossible to assess.

I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to see him play... late climbing, under the radar kind of pick that hopefully could pay dividends down the road
