Prospect Info: 2023-24 Prospects Thread (CHL/NCAA/Euro)

[Addik04]

Adam Engstrom, such a special player.

Such a special player? As special as Heineman like you said for the past year or more special?

Tu as le special assez facile!

Euro Habs prospects in action today (and they're the only prospects in action altogether):

- Kostenko @ 10AM ET. Yugra could get swept if they lose today.

- Rohrer @ 2PM ET. Unlike Yugra, Zurich has a chance to complete the sweep and make the final.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kostenko with a goal as Yugra take a 4-1 lead in the 2nd period. If they hold onto this lead, they will avoid the sweep.

Edit: His goal went to someone else, so Kostenko has an assist instead.

Edit #2: And now his assist has been removed. So he's got no points so far. However, Yugra still leads 4-1 after 2.

 

[Rapala]

You get this feeling that he’s so under appreciated in these parts. Never or rarely gets mentioned as posters pencil in their top 6 D


Guess he’s a product of out of sight out of mind. Think he’s gonna surprise many as he makes his way over to NA and laces his skates with Laval.

Can’t wait

Anyone who saw him in the Development Camp has to know how good he is right???
It's so easy to see when a player is two steps ahead of almost everyone else.

I went to the dev camp and he was really good. Hutson was the huge standout, but Engstrom was excellent both ways. The skating stood out, but I was surprised by his puck skills. Tough to know how his game translates in NA though. How will he handle the physical play, the speed at which he needs to make decisions, the forecheck, the 82 games. I think a guy like Barron would look really good in Europe, yet all those things are still hard for him.

[red devil]

Eriksson with 2 goals in the game

 

[overlords]

Eriksson scored his first goal of the SHL playoffs.

Rogle is up 2-1 in the 3rd.

Trying to decipher live scores in european sports is like the voynich manuscript to me, but I think eriksson might have scored a 2nd to tie things up.

confirmed by @red devil, I can read.

Better angle here.

Great deflection.

 

[WinterLion]

Seems like our Euros are doing better overall... that's good.

 

[montreal]

Solid Hit - 3:38

not the best game from him offensively but he was physical all night. Since they pulled the goalie and he was standing in the crease when the puck went down ice, the camera didn't show what happened for him to get ejected.

 

[montreal]

Assist - 0:14
Assist - 2:22

solid game from him again, 10 pts in 6 games, finishing his checks, looks more engaged. London should be a fun matchup.

 

[Wats]

Assist - 0:14
Assist - 2:22

solid game from him again, 10 pts in 6 games, finishing his checks, looks more engaged. London should be a fun matchup.

Hope he upsets them and looks much better than the hyped Easton Cowan.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Hope he upsets them and looks much better than the hyped Easton Cowan.

I am a Habs fan but comparing Cowan D+1 to Mesar D+2, Cowan seems much more valuable, (just from stats and highlights watching)

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs Euro prospects in action today:

- Kostenko @ noon ET. Game 5 of Yugra vs. AKM. Yugra is down 3-1 in the semi-final series.
Kostenko with 7 pts (2G, 5A) in 18 GP

- Engstrom vs. Eriksson @ 1:30PM ET. Game 4 of Rogle vs. Vaxjo. Rogle with a chance to complete the sweep.
Engstrom with 3 assists in 9 GP
Eriksson with 2 goals in 6 GP

[EveryDay]

Can't wait to see him and Engstrom in NA.

Our top 2 most underrated player imo.

 

[morhilane]

I suspect all the parties already talked to each others about it. There is just no formal agreement since Kapanen haven't signed his ELC yet.

 

[montreal]

what a f***ing pass by Engstrom!

 

[Adam Michaels]

- Yugra is eliminated. They were up 2-0 after 1 period. Then AKM make it 3-2 and Yugra tie it and the game is 3-3 after 2. Then AKM won it with 36 seconds left in the game. So Yugra are out in the semi-finals.

No pts for Kostenko today, so he finishes with 7 pts (1G, 8A) in 19 GP.

- Engstrom with an assist so far. Rogle is down 2-1 in the 2nd period.
