The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
We need to start looking at this kid as a legitimate prospect. Got another assist today. Teenager getting 15 Points in the SHL for a Dman is impressive.

he is.
Already plays a mature kind of game, his offensive game developed a ton this season and he is in one of the best organisation in the SHL to develop young talent.
And a plus for us is that he can play on the right side pretty good. He is used to it.

He is terribly underrated just like Heineman. I like him better than Mailloux and he is a better all around defenseman than Hutson. I think he has the highest floor among our defensemen group, which is a solid 2nd pairing D in the making while his celling might be top pairing level.

Don’t agree for Hutson he has a way higher ceiling but i’ve been saying it for Mailloux, i like Engstrom better.
Hutson-Engstrom could be a great pair, though.

It is interesting how he fell to almost the 4th round. Mainly because he played on a team last year with Ohgren, Ostlund and Lekkerimaki, guys who would've been scouted heavily given they were first round talents.
Has he shown that much improvement since last year, or did he basically just fall because he's on the smaller side for a D?

He is around 6’2, 190lbs and he just turned 19 i don’t think it’s small.
It’s just he kinda was in those guys and Odelius’s shadow. He decided to switch team and go to Rogle and had the chance to show what he can do at the start of the year in the J20, he did so good in the first 7 games that they called him up in the SHL.

Hutson has more offensive upside, but Engstrom projects as a more complete defenseman.

I had Engstrom ranked 9th OA in Nov, so he's been a legit prospect for me since first seeing him play.

Is Engstrom more impressive than norlinder was in his d+1? Stats would say so

Engstrom was always a more complete dmen with better IQ and a more mature game. I'm not sure why people are trying to compare them.

as long as people don't start calling him the next "Lidstrom" and over rating him.

Yes. Engstrom is a really solid pick by Habs. Reminds me of Romanov (not in term of style, 2 different players), but the fact they are only 3rd and 2nd rounder. Engstrom have solid potential for a only 3rd rounder, I can easily see him have a potential to become a good two-way top 4 D. His stats are impressive in SHL for his age!
Norlinder was drafted as an overager and Engstrom was a late birthday. So in their D+1, Engstrom is 7 months younger. At that stage it is important. Engstrom plays in the SHL, Norlinder was in the 2nd league.

no question, Norlinder was named top prospect in Allsvenskan despite the chunk of time he missed to injury but Engstrom is doing more at the higher level while playing way better defensively.

Dahlin is 10000x better. Engstrom could play with the Habs in the future which is nice but he should never be mentioned alongside with Dahlin.
