my condolences

Willing to stick his neck out for the team

Better than Bailey

He sucks.

So is half the AHL

Good skating bottom 6 player, big but won't play like he is, can chip in ~15 goals and play good defensively

Yeah he’s brutal doesn’t really do a whole lot, there’s a reason we are excited about a 3rd

Solid 2 way 3rd liner, better shooter than play maker, better defensivly than offensively, can fill in at c if needed but mostly plays wing and has good speed. Puck goes in the right direction when he's on the ice
Main knock, and primary reason most leafs fans hate him is that he isnt physically despite his frame but he doesnt shy away from contact

Basically Slafkovsky

When Cap friendly spends 2 years straight telling me the leafs will have to pay to move Engvall and it was really call that old guy Lou he likes big guys he can't hit the net and you get a 3rf

Hahahah you win

🤭

Isles have guys who can bang the body. Honestly more happy with the chipping in goals and good defensive game. More of what the Isles need depth wise. I imagine Lou extends him as he does with every trade he makes. I’m pretty happy with this

Put him with someone who can pass pretty good and he'll pop in 15 goals easy fro. The 3rd line, more if he gets 2nd power play time. He spent most of his time in Toronto with guys as gifted at offense aa david kampf.
Im excited for him to suddenly be "good" and not a pay to dump guy now that hes not a leaf

He will frustrate you. He’s huge and apparently strong as an ox but he doesn’t play physical in any way. He can skate well and score the occasional goal but don’t expect a ton. He’s got tools but doesn’t seem to be able to put it together.

One reason Engvall, doesn't hit as much as Neanderthal Leaf wants, is because he one of few bottom enders that can actually stickhandle in tight quarters. Most other 3rd or 4th, throw the puck in the corner and then try to retrieve it, which adds to their non productive hit count.
Engvall, good skater, stickhandler, creative enough though not a so much of a scoring touch.....but good enough for 15 goals a year. Fine defensively. Good value at 2.2m.
