The Montreal Canadiens used many of their draft picks to select players based on the enticing talent they held, including the one they spent at 92nd overall to draft Adam Engström. At this point in his hockey career, Engström can be best described as a pool of skills rather than a complete hockey player.
First and foremost, Engström has the skating stride that some of the top all-around players in the draft class were missing, so that is a perfect starting place for him. Good hands let him handle the puck easily, so he can carry the puck well while he’s moving.
