It's always risky to talk about a "steal" from the draft, especially when discussing players who haven't even played in the National Hockey League yet, but it's hard to deny that the Montreal Canadiens seem to have done very well with their 92nd overall pick in 2022.

Engstrom really impressed last July during the Montreal Canadiens' development camp, being a machine at creating scoring opportunities, and it continued.
Engstrom, 19 years old, stands 6 feet tall and has amassed a solid 16 points in 43 games in the top league of Sweden, one of the best leagues in the world. For an 18-year-old defenseman (at the start of the 2022-23 season), that's very strong.
