With their last pick in the draft, the Leafs selected Swedish winger Pierre Engvall out of Frolunda&#8217;s J20 SuperElit team. At 6&#8217;4, 190lbs, Toronto waited until the 7th round, 188th overall to draft size &#8211; and they&#8217;ll be getting some skill to go along with it.

In 39 games with Frolunda&#8217;s J20 squad, Engvall scored 17 goals and 35 points. He also spent a total of 16 games with the J18 team, scoring an impressive 11 goals and 36 points.

skater. He doesn&#8217;t have that superb vision you look for in a top-level playmaker, but he still gets 
the job done with good puck distribution, strong accuracy to his passes, and his excellent reach 
and size&#8230; His development over the course of the 
season has been phenomenal. He’s using his strengths more to his advantage, and has started 
to play more physically. NHL POTENTIAL: Top-Nine Two-Way Winger&#8221;
