So apparently this Pierre Engvall character (2014, 7th rd) is uhhh really tall (6'4"), pretty fast, and can dish and snipe (very leisurely). He also has the spankiest cellies.
 
Borgman looks like he want to be back in the Bigs. Engvall at 6'4" with his skating and ability may have a chance down the road.
 
another goal from the big man: Pierre Engvall had a response early in the second, firing a one-timer from the hashmarks to close the deficit to a single goal. It was Engvall?s third goal since joining the Marlies on a PTO

If Engvall could make it, how often do you see two 7th rounders make it to the Leafs and actually stick?  Between him and Johnsson we could have a couple of steals here.
 
Johnsson is definitely a steal. Engvall is starting to look like he has potential.  I have repeatedly watched his 3 snipes and that is exactly what they should be called, he has great vision and you can see him zero on exactly where he wants to put it, makes the snap shot right to where he wants it.  What's exciting about him is the height 6'4" and his very smooth skating. God I love our Euro scouts.
Once they train him to do the JVR, Johnsson to the net move...watch out
 
Engvall made an unbelievable dish to Marancin who buries it.  You can find at Marlies site (Friday night game).  The more I watch this guy the better it gets.
 
The Rangers just fired Alain Vigneault, and Sheldon Keefe's name is getting thrown around quite a bit as someone who could replace him. Larry Brooks said he's "at or near the top of Jeff Gorton?s list of candidates".
 
Carl Grundstrom has finished his SHL season (and by the looks of it, his SHL career), and has been assigned to the Marlies.

Ian Scott (2017 4th Rd) also received an ATO the other day.

This seems highly unfair (for everyone else).

If the Leafs bow out early, the Marlies PP becomes:
Kapanen-Johnsson-Grundstrom-Bracco-Liljegren
Engvall-Aaltonen-Marchment-Moore/Smith-Dermott/Rosen

If for some weird reason the Leafs don't win the Stanley Cup and Dermott goes back to the Marlies I'm going to laugh so hard if he bumps Borgman out of another line-up.
 
I have been quietly watching Miro Aaltonen this season and I am starting to think he would be a huge upgrade at 4th C playing with Kapanen and Johnsson.  Obviously this would be an anti 4th line as it would provide scoring punch on par with Matthews and Nylander.

And goals seem to be a hard commodity to come by these days.

By the way he potted 2 yesterday with Grundstrom and Moore
 
I agree with the general idea that?s Aaltonen should be with the Leafs to provide more of a goal scoring dimension. The degree probably won?t be on par with Matthews and Nylander in the long run.
 
Engvall is the one that really gets me excited.  He seemed like one of those 7th round steal potential picks.  Big player with good skating ability.  Having both Liljegren and Engvall having success in the minors this year is exciting for the future.  They aren't the defensive d-men but they are nice options to add to the blueline, maybe even Gardiner replacements.

Engvall is pretty money right now, especially with all our top Marlie scorers traded or called up. He could be a good LW replacement alongside Grundstrom for Komarov/JvR if Johnsson gives Babcock the option to put Hyman back on the right as well.

The defensemen alongside Liljegren you might be talking about here is Jesper Lindgren (RHD), who is coincidentally Carl Grundstrom's best friend (source: The Athletic). He has had a slow start here (still a bit slight of size), but there's potential there.

Engvall has 4 goals and 9 points in 9 games.  Could be a great find. Grundstrom is coming next year to a Leaf team near you.

I didn't see Dermott, Kapanen or Johnsson on the Marlies 2018 Calder Cup Playoff Roster. Are they allowed to sub from the big club after they're out? I don't know how it works.
