Welcome back to part three of my monthly prospest updates. We've already went over our CHL and NCAA prospects and discussed the likes of Mitch Marner, Dmytro Timashov, and Jeremy Bracco among others, so today we'll go over our prospects currently playing in Europe. Without further ado, let's get started.
Pierre Engvall, Mora IK, LW (7th round, 188th overall in 2014)
The big forward taken in the last round of the 2014 draft, the Ljungby, Sweden native is currently having a solid campaign with Mora IK of the SHL. He currently has 11 points in 26 games for the squad. He could potentially join the Toronto Marlies next season, but expect him to remain in Sweden for another year.
Fabrice Herzog, ZSC Lions, LW (5th round, 132nd overall in 2013)
Herzog is making himself known as a member of the Lions. Playing alongside of projected 2016 first overall pick Auston Matthews, he's currently performing at near a point per game pace, recording 14 points in 18 games. Like Engvall, expect Herzog to play out an extra year in Europe rather than come to Toronto next season.
Andreas Johnson, Frolunda HC, LW (7th round, 202nd overall in 2013)
The Leafs may have found one of the hidden gems of the 2013 NHL Draft with this pick. Johnson is really stepping up for Frolunda this season. He currently has 21 points in 24 games playing in a men's league in Sweden, and has elite vision and nifty hands. Expect him to join the Toronto Marlies next season.
Jesper Lindgren, MODO Hockey, D (4th round, 95th overall in 2015)
Lindgren has shuffled between MODO Hockey and MODO Hockey J20 while playing there, and he's proved to be a decent defenseman for them. Putting up an outstanding 9 points in 6 games with MODO J20, but having his game drop while playing for MODO with only 3 points in 20 games. It's entirely possible that he picks up his game very soon.
Thanks for reading. Tomorrow, we'll take a look at the Toronto Marlies.
