Beck, Xhekaj and Engstrom cut off from Montreal: Pascal Vincent felt no disappointment on their part

If Xhekaj was probably one of the most impressive players at camp, the same can be said of Adam Engstrom. In my opinion, he was one of the best defensemen: mobile, good with the puck, plays well in his territory and doesn’t hesitate to carry the puck. It’s not for nothing that Simon Boisvert likes him and, for the moment, doesn’t dare put him in the “no impact” category, despite his late selection by the Habs in 2022 (92nd)

With the departure of Logan Mailloux, in particular, Engstrom will have a lot more offensive responsibilities in Laval, and I can’t wait to see him in action. It wouldn’t surprise me if he finished as the team’s leading scorer among defensemen. Let’s hope David Reinbacher isn’t far behind him. As for Owen Beck, he’s also aware that it would have been difficult to make the camp, but not impossible. He was simply beaten by Oliver Kapanen. Beck knows his future role in the NHL: fourth-line player, who will play at a numerical disadvantage and in more defensive situations. Under Pascal Vincent, he may have a chance to blossom offensively, however, and Rouleau’s article states that Vincent will be experimenting this season. He’s already talked about it with the youngster, but he intends to use him on the wing too. He wants to work on his versatility, an asset that will be very useful if he wants to have a nice, long career in the show.spacer title=’Overtime’] – Listen to
