Prospect Info: Adam Engstrom

[Habs Icing]

He wasn't on the ice for any goals against. It seemed every time he was replaced, Canada scored on the next shift. Lol

Well, that was simply out of respect for Bedard's future teammate.

 

[Zilo44]

He was drafted in his first draft year in the 3rd round, that's not really "out of nowhere".

Yeah just a 3rd pick making the NHL. More like Romanov in the sense he was a reach that turned out well

 

[McGuires Corndog]

So, was i right when i said he would make some people open their eyes on him during the tournament?

Great call.

Very hard to see all of our prospects, especially those overseas so getting a chance to see them at the WJC is some of the most game time exposure we’ll get to see.

I’ll be following him a lot closer moving forward, that’s for sure.

Jeez been sleeping on this guy so hard. If he turns out maybe he can be our 2LD behind Guhle if Matheson doesn't turn out

In the SHL he plays on the right side too, so he’s able to play both pretty good.

Norlinder who? At this development rate Engstrom will potentially make me forget of Torp, Nygren...et all

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Engstrom was drafted with the Carolina 3rd round pick from the Kotkaniemi trade.

You means the offersheet?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Really big in the final minute for Sweden.

On December 2, I ranked him 4th in our prospect list. I stand more than ever behind that ranking. Also kept believing in Roy despite him being in a tough spot for a few months.

My Top 15, mostly on gut feeling:

1. Logan Mailloux
2. Owen Beck
3. Joshua Roy
4. Adam Engstrom
5. Lane Hutson
6. Emil Heineman
7. Filip Mesar
8. Cayden Primeau
9. Jayden Struble
10. Sean Farrell
11. Justin Barron
12. Jakub Dobes
13. Vincent Rohrer
14. William Trudeau
15. Jesse Ylonen

Toughest to deal with was Mathias Norlinder, so consider him ignored for this list. I don't have a good feel for where he's at right now (not that I have a truly informed opinion about the others, but at least I have gut feelings).

Can't shake my impression that Engstrom will be a great player.

Still a believer and supporter of Roy. Same for Struble.

Mailloux and Beck are an easy Top 2.

Hutson is 5th because of the obvious challenges he's facing; on talent, he's #1.

Primeau has shown many times he was clutch, and I respect clutchness in a goalie.

I only write this list down to remember it later and see how much my hunches are right or wrong.

Prospect Info: - My Top 20 Hab Prospects List (Updated #538)

I graduated Slaf, Guhle, Xhekaj, Harris and left out Fairbrother due to being out all year to injury. With so many prospects and the stock market being crazy, I wasn't able to get to see every prospect play at least twice to start the new season, which is what in a normal year I would do so...

REDEMPTION

 

[HuGort]

How'd he play in Czeckia game?

 

[1909]

Can we wait a bit... ? Norlinder was supposed to be the next Lidstrom !!!!

Not the same style of defenceman, at all.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I've been impressed. I think I read he was likely to make the team but not a lock and he seems to be on the top pairing for them.

Bring him over after next season for the A potentially.

He signed for another year in the SHL. Would have to play with the habs to stay here.

I didn't know that, but I still meant come over for the 24-25 season.

Ah, yeah i misunderstood your post, you’re right. I agree

A pleasant surprise for me has been Adam Engstrom. Has some solid attributes for sure.

He will play in Laval at one point but I'm not sure about his NHL upside.

 

[Tyson]

Engstrom has 5G and 7A playing as a teenager in the Swedish Elite League.
Those are pretty impressive stats against men and a very competitive league.

And he plays RD in the Swedish League

Steal?

Norlinder taught me that with euro D until they come over and we see them in NA don't count chickens before they hatch

 

[Redux91]

Steal?

Man, this kids f***ing good man lol
Ain't no 2 ways about it, it was a hell of a draft
our already deep LD pool amazingly got deeper lol and thats WITH trading Romy to boot

 

[SlafySZN]

Engstrom and Norlinder are not the same type of defenseman, though. Engstrom is good all around, Norlinder was an offensive D with no physicality.

Steal?

Yes.

Same kind of steal as Romanov when people said who? When they drafted him and then he ended up pretty good lol.
