Just came across this on theleafsnation.com that the Marlies have signed Pierre Engvall to an ATO. I hope he gets a shot to play, so that we can see what we have in him.

We lose exclusive rights to sign him this off-season (August I think?). Good time to bring him over and see what he's got.

His upside seems rather limited though. Good skater but his skillset seems rather lackluster.

In that respect, he reminds me of a Stalberg or Berezin type. Skating is his asset, shot is pretty decent, the rest is limited.

Nothing wrong with a big body that can skate. If he can be hard on the boards and in the corners, he may be a good fourth liner

There are too few, truly effective big bodied crash and bangers. This Leafs team would really benefit from a smart with some skill on the left side to compliment our skilled wingers. As another poster pointed out, our depth chart moving forward should be

xxx - Matthews - Nylander
xxx - Kadri - Marner

Fill in the rest.

That is an excellent 4 forwards to base your team around. Slot in the Kapanens and Leivos for additional skill and the bangers like Hyman, Soshnikov and maybe Engvall and your team becomes very well balanced. Just need to work on the blue line!

Berezin scored 37 goals in one year. He had good one hands and one decent outside inside move. But he could score. With respect, Engvall has done nothing to gain that comparison

Engvall comes off more of Lindberg type of player. A decent depth player

I'm not comparing the overall impact at all. I'm comparing them as limited skill set forwards. Berezin could skate and shoot, and he was limitrd in literally everything else.

Pretty sure his rights expire next off-season (2014 + 4 yrs since he was drafted out of Europe = 2018)
