I was joking because he got a bunch of penalties today
Prospect Info: [2022 - 92nd] Adam Engstrom (SHL - Rogle BK)
- Thread starter Adam Michaels
- Start date
He is 6'2".......Hockeydb is incorrect.
Habs management already discussed the fact that they really liked his size/skating combination. EP has him at 6'2" 185 lbs which is much more in line with these comments than Hockeydb's listing of 6'0" 167 lbs (likely old measurement)
Bangstrom!
Adam Edström the forward, not Adam Engström the Dman.
You're right. It's not the first time I mistake the two. Although Engstrom did get a penalty, but not that one.
A really intriguing prospect, for sure. Great 3rd round value. Looks much better than Norlinder.
Watching him right now, kid is phenomenal in transition, his passing is extremmely sharp and accurate, can hit his teammates' stick from distance in motion. Unlike Norlinder, kid can play physical and clear the front of the net, he is pretty active and combative both defensively and offensively. Good skater, very good mobility, very talended with the puck, active stick without the puck. Frankly, Im really impressed.
Incredible if he really is a hidden gem. Based on his attitude, he's extremely ambitious. Amazing if we have yet another jewel on the blueline. When was the last time we were stacked like that with defensemen prospects? The 1980's, probably.
This guy can really skate. They just had a 4 on 4 and Rögle's coach just let Adam and Wallinder run wild on the ice.
I know a lot of y'all wanted Dumais.. but another small skilled forward with questionable skating is not a need over what Engstrom could be.
That would be nice. Havelid and Odelius arent doing much either.
Norlinder has to get his swagger back. His game isn't a physical one. Ideally it's catching the opposition off guard by darting into the rush or offensive zone as a 4th forward, creating scoring chances, and then darting back in time on D.
I think it's good for him to stay in Sweden another year as Laval is crowded and you get 4 years with him so might as well let him play his age 19 and 20 seasons in the SHL and then see where he's at.
Rogle is one of the better programs in the SHL. He's in the right place to develop till he's 20 and ready for the NA challenge. He's already ahead of where he was expected to be this season.
This guy looks like a really solid pick by Bobrov et al. Just picked up another assist in the SHL. Big guy who can really skate and has some offensive upside.
Not sure how to embed twitter post a, but here is a visual of Engstrom assist of today.
Edit : Wow, turns out this site does it for me.

From his first shift at the scrimmages I knew we had a good one.
