Good pick by the Canadiens. Solid defender who also stepped up offensively in the playoffs.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Looks really solid!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

First SHL assist today and he played 17:51.

 

[Pavels Dog]

This kid needs more attention, he’s looking ridiculous lately!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Lock for the world juniors imo

Seems to be really taking off offensively. 9 points in last 12 games as a 19 year old D in SHL.

 

[montreal]

he's been the biggest surprise for me as I never heard of him before we drafted him but wow is he crushing it in the SHL.

It's very early but the most exciting thing to me is that we might have actually found a good scout in Sweden, Norlinder, Engstrom plus it was said he pushed for Heineman at the draft. There's finally hope there after many, many, many busts.

 

[schnapshot]

Most underrated Habs prospect IMO

 

[Michoulicious]

Modt underrated Habs prospect IMO

Catching fire offensively recently in the SHL for sure.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Very underrated prospect.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Very underrated prospect.

Can someone explain to me why he will be different than Norlinder. So much hype on him early on only to see it fizzle out. No doubting Engstrom, just a question.

I think they are very different. Engström way more dynamic with the puck.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Very underrated prospect.

Lol.

Pass the puck dude.

(still impressive)

Norlinder is still one of the Habs top 15 prospects imo, he's taken time to adjust to the smaller ice and he's missed a lot of time to injury.

But whatever Norlinder does or doesn't do, has zero impact on what Engstrom does or doesn't do.

I am not a Habs fan, but I have stated I think Engstrom was one of the most under-rated D in last year's draft. So I will give my explanation.

Engstrom was playing in the SHL before he turned 19, Norlinder didn't make the SHL until several months after he was 20. Engstrom has been used as both a defense-first and offense-leaning D. Last year in juniors he was on a team with tons of offense, he was definitely the "steady" presence on the blue line. Then in the playoffs and after he acclimated to the SHL he has displayed significant skill in the offensive zone. Norlinder is shiftier but I don't think he succeeds as a defense-first type. Engstrom could develop into a left-shot version of Marino or, best-case, similar to Lindell.

Lol yes I’m aware Norlinder has no effect on Engstrom.

i understand your concern. habs had bad luck with swedes. but look at other nhl teams. there is plenty of good players from sweden in NHL. I think Engström will be one of them..

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Very underrated prospect.

TBNKKKKKK

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Maybe Heineman/Engström can break the swede "curse" in montreal
