Are they looking to clear cap space for a deal?

Barzal and Duclair close to returning perhaps

 

[banks]

Nobody will even consider Engvall.

But I do wonder if Wahlstrom might be worth a shot for a rebuilding team.

He's not. He'll go the way of Kieffer Bellows.

 

[BHD]

Engvall does have stretches where he’s a useful player. However, no team will even consider him with that contract.

 

[SI90]

Wally broke my heart. My favorite player from the 2018 draft. Wasn’t the same after his hip surgery. I could see a Chicago SJ ANA or BUF claiming him

 

[Breakers]

I still remember when wahlstrom tried to go back to the USHL in season because he wasn’t having success in the NCAA

Can he still shoot the pill? I remember that being his thing in that draft.

Yes he can blast it high and wide. 10 feet from the net.

That 10-30 overall range in the 2018 NHL draft was roooough man (aside from Dobson).

 

[TheNewEra]

i wonder if penguins try and make a claim for wahlstrom and give him 9-10 games to show something

 

[TheNumber4]

That Bottom 6 of Dubas era Leaf’s sure got overrated. Ridiculous contracts to both Mikheyev and Engvall.

 

[MarsTBOW]

So True!

Farabee was good

 

[seabass45]

Did Chicago's bus leave Long Island yet?

 

[Enniskillen]

Leafs got rid of the mighty giraffe in time. What was Lou thinking when he decided to sign Engvall to that ridiculous contract? New Palmieri?

I always thought this would be a draft filled with great defenceman and shitty forwards.

 

[Leafs87]

Lou seeing all the waiver claims and trying to strike iron while it’s hot. Someone needs to remind him of the cap system, which he clearly didn’t factor when he signed this deal

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

another tremendous deal by Lou!

I think Engvall can be an okay 3rd liner. But woof, no idea what they were thinking with that contract.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Death, taxes, and the Isles regretting signing guys to long-term deals.

 

[BraveCanadian]

He can be an ok player but that contract is right up their with Narleau on Lou’s worst list.

Engvall is likely the smallest 6’5 guy I have ever seen play. What a waste of all that gym time.

 

[sxvnert]

Leafs got rid of the mighty giraffe in time. What was Lou thinking when he decided to sign Engvall to that ridiculous contract? New Palmieri?

They still took way too long to move him.

Farabee was good

Fair. I would want more out of a #14 myself but a 40-50P player is not bad for that range in the draft

Engvall is top 6 or bust. He's not willing to do the things that keep bottom 6 players in the lineup.
