Pierre Engvall Is the most mysterious player on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He skates well, he’s got a hard shot, he’s an absolute monster at 6’5 and 215lbs. He’s a good passer, he is defensively responsible. He looks good on both special teams units. Why isn’t he leading the Toronto Maple Leafs in scoring?
A 7th round pick, Engvall – a toolsy project with a ton of upside and a low chance of making it – was a prototypical Kyle Dubas pick years before Kyle Dubas was even a Leafs employee. The pre-Dubas Leafs have a reputation for going after low-risk grinders with late picks, but Engvall was a real swing at the fences and it might still pay off.
