I really want to like Engvall, and he looked like he had some promise at the beginning of last season, but in the last 35 games or so he has precisely 1 goal.

He’s not here to score. Defends well, great skater, great on the PK. Put him and Mikheyev with a guy who can score.

JMO of course 😑

Not just your opinion.
I'll back you up on this one. I like him a lot as a bottom 6 guy.

Ditto. I've always liked Engvall's game. We don't need offense from him, but if he keeps doing smart things with the puck and working hard, he's a very valuable part of the bottom 6.

This is a pretty crazy stat from Mike Zeisberger

2016 #NHL Draft
1. Matthews TOR (290 pts)
2. Laine WPG-CBJ (250 pts)
3. Dubois CBJ-WPG (159)
4. Puljujarvi EDM (38)
5. Juolevi VAN (0)
6. M Tkachuk CAL (238)

After @am34, #Flames big winners. No 2-3 traded for each other. No. 4-5 combined for 38 pts. Tkachuk a difference maker

I like his game too, and I also like the way Simmonds has looked, and Mikheyev

But tbh we're biased because we watch them every game... if they're not putting up points (whivh they're not), then you have to start looking at players that bring a similar skill set that can put up points

Yeah, that's true. But I also think some of them havent reached their full potential and can put up at least some expected points. But we can still cherry pick "favourites" anyway. Barabanov has been invisible, in a bad way, in my opinion. I don't think I have an opinion on Simmonds one way or the other currently. Mikheyev is sharp though.
If you can't put up points, you have to make sure you're damn good at something to stick around.

35+ games with 1 goal is absurd. He's a marginal player who has some nice wheels. I'd rather have a guy on the 4th who is an energy player that can skate, hit, and make that line absolutely miserable to play against.

Wait. Why is Dubois worth Laine+?

Dubois is good, he isn't THAT good.

- Leafs43


I think the issue is that Laine is not that good, and certainly seems to be a headcase.

Agreed... she was absolutely, ridiculous hot. I can't think of many cases where taking Botox actually improved someone's looks...

Other than "being miserable to play against" coming off as an exaggeration, you just described Engvall.

Imagine taking Juolevi over Tkachuk, Keller, Sergachev, et al.

Brutal.

The puck dies around Engvall unless he's skating straight down the ice.

He's not very good and I'm not sure what some of these guys are watching when he's on the ice?!?!?!

If Simmonds can convince the third and fourth liners to buzz the net like him, then we can go places.

I think he will come around. It was a horrible injury, probably affected him pretty seriously. Could be like a Hyman type eventually, not great hands but will pot some goals. (nevermind, I thought we were talking Mikheyev)

I just honestly do not understand it.

You would think people would be terrified of it, given how many people's faces are ruined now. Take care of your health and complexion and I would say you're going to end up aging much better.

I’m going to guess that there are lots of actresses of a “certain age” who have had work done by people who know they’re doing that has prolonged their careers.

I won’t say that it improved their looks cause I’m all about aging gracefully and beautifully, but it probably kept them Hollywood beautiful longer
