Demidov is a HAB
Loved Romy, was a little shocked he went as high as he did.
Engstrom was more off my radar, though. Romanov I saw a lot of during those in season nation tournaments Russia used to do.

Everyone's radar. There was a single online scouting service that he him where the Habs took him, everyone else had him way farther away because they were too busy looking at the rest of his teammates.

Which is what happened to me and I didn't catch his play-offs which I read is where the Habs scouts really got enamored with him.

Indeed, Engstrom is physical and extremmely combative unlike Norlinder who relies more on positioning and stick work to defend. Engstrom is a better shooter and a better all around defenseman. I really like his mobility and his talent level is pretty underrated, cant wait to see him play with Laval.

Especially swedes. The habs have zero luck from that country. They haven't had a significant player come out of Sweden since the 80s if I'm remembering correctly.

You don't consider Popovic, Sundstrom and Dackell as significant players

Though he’s Finnish, Lehkonen did play in Sweden. As did Eller (not a Habs pick however)

From his first random toe drag at the habs prospect camp, I knew I really liked Engstrom. His play this season has solidify that. Sometimes I wonder if we didn't draft Hutson this last year, how much more talk there would be about Adam. The guy got an awesome set of tools.

With Engstrom, what has been impressing me the most is his poise, especially at the WJC where he was used in a shutdown role a lot. He's a bit like Guhle in that he doesn't seem to get rattled by much, he's calm and in control at all time. If he makes a bad play, he just brushes it off and goes back to work exactly the same on his next shift. I like that a lot in a Dman.

Engstrom signed an extension with Roble for next season. Not sure about Kapanen.

Engstrom signed a new deal with Rogle that goes until 2024. It's a good organization and he's been used well there, so letting him develop in the SHL for a while isn't a bad idea at all IMO. Ditto for Kapanen, his contract with Kalpa ends in 2024 and it's a good spot for him, I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to bring him across the pond.

I do Three bullets.
Yeah another year in SHL for Engstrom definitely won't hurt
Come over after that
Something about his play makes you think he'll make it. It's so smooth and seems easy. I hope they don't bring him over too soon, let him continue this streak and hopefully become one of the best D in SHL next season.

Yes, Rogle is the best organisation to develop players in the SHL. Aren't scared to play the younger players and let them develop.

Engström sits down with EOTP to discuss his progress and how there’s no such thing as too much practice.

Engstrom is a better prospect than Norlinder in almost every way. Better frame, better skater, better defensively. Only arguable aspect is offense, and even that I'd maybe give it to Engstrom. I never really understood the Norlinder hype in all honesty. The results never matched up.
%I don't think so. There is alot to like about this kid, his maturity, skill set

The third coming of Lidstrom, or maybe fourthHow can he be better than the second coming of Lidstrom ?

Its common for Sweden to do that with young defenders. They billed Anton Stralman the same.
People who get caught up in those silly comparisons only have themselves to blame, imo.
Tbh Norlinder is the guy who looks the most like Lidstrom physically, so people were not wrong to say he's the second coming of Lidstrom.
