[GardinerTheForward]

Deliberately vague. Including skill, effort, consistency, flexibility to special teams.

Engvall.
Same age
Both PK
Both play C or LW
Engvall is the bigger body by alot
Both show random bursts of a bit of aggression in their game, but not consistently
Engvall I believe holds more value and holds the higher ceiling in the NHL.
Engvall has shown ability to be an absolute force in an NHL game, Brooks never has.
It's Engvall for me, and it's not close tbh

What kind of thread is this. Brooks may be a better playmaker. Maybe. But the rest of Engvalls skills are superior.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

I find engvall lazy and always straight leg. scared to go to corners.

i think brooks is better bc he is consistent and has a bit of a hard nose. Engvall plays lazy IMO

Is Brooksie still a healthy scratch in Mtl?

 

[Buds17]

Both players are the same age. Engvall has more points than Brooks has GP. I don't necessarily intend this to be a ringing endorsement, but...

 

[zeke]

Engvall obviously far better.

Was also a better offensive player in the AHL.

 

[Menzinger]

Engvall is a regular roster player on most teams. Brooks will always be a fringe guy.

 

[saffronleaf]

Engvall, but I still miss Brooksie

Why are we still kicking this dead horse?

 

[The Kessel Run]

Brooks is as vanilla as it gets. Engvall's decision making absolutely infuriates me. But he's certainly a better player in other facets.

Brooksie is no dead horse, rather a stallion

 

[Leaf Fans]

Is Brooksie still a healthy scratch in Mtl?

Yes, he is. He has played one game since he was claimed.

 

[Polaris1010]

Neither.

Both are fringe NHL players.

He is gone. Makes him a dead horse.

It’s like saying lions to giraffes

 

[Havoc]

I'm zero tolerance for low IQ players getting 13 minutes a game. Engvall is already piling up a reel of bonehead plays due to touching the puck so much. Going with Brooks just because he's above average between the brains. Dumb teams don't win cups.

I hope Engvall is a bandaid depth player and won't be in the bottom 6 after the trade deadline. We need smart warriors for the playoffs.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Engvall sucks i don’t care what u guys say I’m watching this preds leafs game and he can’t f***ing beat saros when saros is half undressed in the corner.

His shot is so ducking slow and floaty. My god its worse than mine

 

[Le Cobra]

i once believed brooks could be like marner lite, but that remains to be seen. best of luck to him except when he plays against us

 

[TMLAM34]

Engvall is clearly the better player but both are bottom six players at the very best. Brooks was also claimed by Vegas now.
