Don Cherry just woke up in a cold sweat.

That's because all the Canadians and Americans made the team already.

Yeah, because Don is such a fan of Anericans.

I predicted Engvall will be a top six player for us in two years and stand by that statement. Big body protects the puck,good hockey iq
And soft hands.

Only going to get better

Not anything new not many people are hot for America.

IMO Grundstrom and Liljegren are both very likely to be impact NHLers, with significant upside. After that, I think Borgman has a good shot to be a quality 3rd pairing type.

Sandin, Durzi, Engvall, SDA, Bracco, all have shots to become NHLers, but I’m significantly less certain about them than I am about Grundstrom/Liljegren/Borgman.

Interesting that our top 4 prospects (IMO) are all Swedish (Grundstrom, Liljegren, Borgman and Sandin). If you count Johnsson as “not yet graduated” (just 17 NHL games so far), then our top 5 are all Swedes! There’s even an argument for Engvall being next. Don’t know if there’s much to read into there, but interesting.
