Anyone else think Engvall has a shot at the big club this year?

I think he can certainly make the big club. Underrated as far as I can see.
I like him and think he can become a top 6 player at some point

only saw him in preseason last year and I thought I saw something.
the fact they moved him to center speaks to their mindset on his HIQ.
I see him getting another year in the ahl regardless.

probably not, as much as I like him. I could see him making another team, but Toronto has too much forward depth
I think there's a possibility that Engvall is the Leafs' full time 4th line center by the 2020-21 season.

Him and Marchment were my favourite Marlies forwards to watch. I really hope they camp so well it has to be given to them but I agree with Waffle above: another year with Marlies won’t hurt, and timing isn’t great with all the depth we currently have.
Marchment's style of game is something that's missing from the Leafs right now but my issue with him is his apparent lack of durability. I really wish the Leafs didn't have to trade Grundstrom, he's the type of forward the team is currently missing.
Back to Engvall, he's never going to be the type to initiate hard contact but he does seem to be using size better and not playing a perimeter skill game only now.

Not if he can be sent back down. The only instances when players make the jump early is when their play demands it. Eng has certainly improved but isn't beating down any doors.
Ummm, no chance out of camp ... but has size, speed a decent skillset and smarts and will be an NHL'er, dunno when though

Don't think he makes it out of camp but if he has a strong camp he'll go a long way at being one of the first call ups mid-season

Yup... Grundstrom is the type of player you just don't trade because they are so rare... Leafs fans will realize it this season.

Probably has a good chance next season like a few have already said. I do however want to see Mason Marchment make it. His biggest downfall when competing with other guys however is going to be the lack of NHL experience, lack of PK ability and inability to play C. I fully expect to lose Marchment to waivers and I will miss the kid. He's going to be a pretty solid NHL player. Probably will never put up more than 5-10 goals and 15-20 points but he's a hard nosed guy with great tenacity.

Leafs fans also realize how horrible their D would look without Muzzin
He would need to score significantly more to make that happen this year. Would need PP time to make that happen.
Also depends on if he sticks at center or goes back to the wing. On the wing he would have a shot with a big year, he would need to improve a lot at center to push out some of the natural centers we have.

He will be one of the "go to" guys on the Marlies this season, along with Bracco and Brooks. He'll go back down to be that. He has a very small chance to really turn heads but at the end of the day, he'll likely start with the Marlies.
I do think he's got a very good chance to get a call up at some point and then next season to be a regular depth player.

No, but it's not really his fault. Too many bodies.
However with Hyman and Marner out, he could have a decent shot at a shorter term stint. Especially replacing Hyman.
I don't see him being a center in the NHL. At best he'd be a borderline 4C but as a winger he could easily slot in the top 9 beside skill guys without a doubt.
