We have a lot of defencemen here developing their game already, I think he'll spend one more year in the SHL and if his progression continues as it has I think he's gonna sign at the end of next year.

My question/point wasn’t to rush, rather to sign (if possible) and leave him in SHL for another year. I agree with you man
No doubt sir. If there was room to bring him over I would be receptive to it but I think playing against men in Sweden will prepare him.
Crazy how poorly our organization has done with Swedish players.

It’s either NHL or SHL next season since his 1 year extension takes him through 2023-24.
He could sign another extension, keeping him away from the AHL, but I’d imagine the Habs would be involved in those discussions.

Let's diddly go !
He could have that long playoff run with the Rocket too, y’know?!I hope not because it would mean he has a deep playoff run with Rogle which is Always a nice experience to have

One heck of a busy D+1 season for the kid, especially if he ends up playing games with the senior national team to finish it. It's great that he gets to have a lot of different experience in different roles, that will definitely pay off in the long run.

I think his game is well-rounded enough that he could be a 1st pair, 2nd pair or 3rd pair dman. We'll see.
He's a very different prospect than Norlinder.

Got some serious Markov vibes watching this guy play the way he passes the puck in the offensive zone
The Habs 2022 draft is looking more and more like a home run. This kid Engstrom is a serious find at 92nd overall.
Under contract in Sweden next season. No rush.

Article on our boy - behind a firewall but I assume it’s positive!

Spot on.
I first saw him actually play games at the WJCs and I loved how he played. Not unlike Romanov. Physical and really solid defensively. Maybe not quite at Romanov’s level but he looked better moving the puck. Nothing flashy.
But then you add in his SHL play after and there’s definitely some offensive swagger and you’re left wondering just how good he can be. The safest bet of our D prospects outside of Reinbacher yet not that far behind if at all.
One of my favourite prospects of ours

Whoa right side. I know he’s there sometimes but mostly on the left from my recollection. Hoping he can take a big step this year

He'll be surely given every opportunity to be one of their go-to defensemen, let's hope he seizes it. He does play the right side at times, even last year.
