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.

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 played behind Odellius and Havelid most nights and in international tournaments. He was the kind of player you just didnt see. Its tough to rank, i knew he was eligible last year but completely lrft him off my top 100 because he was unimpressive.

Then he plays a few weeks later and legit looks better than most Dman that went in the 1st round.

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

Hands down he is. Norlinder was always un feu d'paille hyped up by the HabsMedia.

Lot of the prospects Habs had during Bergevin era were overhyped due to there being no one to be excited about. Desperate times...

Lol my first thought also went right to all that Dahlin footage we watched in 2018 , 100% lol
That was the first thing that stood out with Rasmus, the stickhandling

Like duh lol

I remember that’s all they showed leading up to the draft, Dahlin doing dipsy doodle, was amazing to watch and that Engstrom clip reminded me of those clips and I’m sure most posters would concur

I was at the Bell Centre and hoping the Habs would draft Dumais with the 3rd round pick. When it was announced that the Habs drafted Engstrom, I was wondering who the hell was Engstrom. Turn out the Habs made a very good pick.

True. But man I wish we had drafted Dumais.

Should we have drafted Dumais instead of Rohrer?

Only thing about Rohrer is he apparently plays like a bull, hits/for checks and got skill. Maybe he ends up nothing but I can see why they wanted to take a flyer. He's one of the youngest players from draft too.

The kid just never stops and has wheels. Taking a gamble on a hard working good athlete with good iq is better than all the lazy a** skilled fantasy skaters that fade out when the pressure rise and the pace gets faster. I really like that pick for this round. He's gonna take time but there is hope we have something there. No rush though...

I know, why are you guys upset because I called you out for comparing him with Dahlin.

Called me out :laugh:

He looked EXACTLY like Dahlin on that play, any closer and I’d say he’s his twin!!!!

That Engstrom move was Dahlin-like

Engstrom finding his inner Dahlin

If I didn’t know that was Engstrom, I’d bet the house that was an old clip of Dahlin

You can take all them

That's why people don't take Habs fans seriously. That was a Norlinder-esque move.

No one is comparing them, that’s his point.

Maybe if i point out that they are both blond I’ll be accused of linking their career paths and greatness lol

Ya, I’m sure you have the survey to back this claim.

But I’m sure there’s a pro team out there that people take their fanbase seriously, across the board no questions asked
