An in-depth look at how 20-year-old defenceman Adam Engström managed to land top-pair minutes on one of the best teams in the SHL, how he improved his game, and what Habs fans can expect from him.
The Swedish blue-liner currently has 11 points in 25 SHL games for Rögle BK in the SHL, a program most notably known for helping Moritz Seider unlock his game and become a difference-maker. Engström has taken huge strides over the past two years, and has become arguably the Canadiens’ most underrated prospect.

Damn we’ve got some good young Dmen. Could you do Konyushkov next ?
maybe David Reinbacher should be sent to Rogle
Hadi, you need to make more in depth prospect videos like this. Very enjoyable 👏
Very excited for Bogdan Konyushkov!,
Love Adam and follow him every chance I get. Thank you Hadi for doing this!
Thanks I must admit I didn't know much about him until this video
I have a knack to follow along with the play and think about the next move.So what I see is another perimeter player that doesn't have the finish mindset once he gets near th enet.
He often penetrates the shooting zone then wastes it by dropping a pass all the way back to the point or tries a rink wide pass of 30-40 feet.This is also hockey on Euro ice it is a larger surface giving players more tiem and space than they will get in the NHL.
So what I see is a very average player that skates well and that is what buys his time and allows him to think longer but around the offensive net he doesn't have the coring IQ.
I can't place him yet until I see more of his game on NHL ice and within MTL's terrible defensice zone play he would be under constant pressure but just maybe with his skating he could single handedly carry it out similar to Matheson.
"great shl team" ???????
Looks promising. Engstrom, Reinbacher, Konyushkov, Hutson, Mailloux, Trudeau in the wings. Plus Barron, Struble, Xhekaj, Harris…super-deep crop of young D-men! Plus 2 good goalie prospects. Now all that's needed to complete this picture for a future powerhouse, is at least one gamebreaker forward prospect.
I don't know that he is THAT underrated… i see a great skating ability and overall very good fundamentals but i'm not expecting a whole lot in terms of becoming a NHL caliber defenseman, we shall see.
They have so much room to do what he does best . Hope he can adapt to our rinks . Would love to see him as a Hab
Looks like a giant candy cane in that atrocious uniform.
