Enough.
We've been talking about it for a while, but now it's official: Adam Engstrom is under contract with CH. He signed his three-year entry-level contract with the Montreal organization.
The defender did not have time to finish the season in North America, but at least he signed.
The Canadiens agree to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract (2024-25 to 2026-2027) with defenseman Adam Engstrom.

Note that it is not impossible to believe that the defender could be loaned to his European club next year if he does not break into the Canadian's upcoming squad.
After all, since he's a left-handed defender, there likely won't be a spot for him as early as October 2024 in Montreal.
The defender has 22 points in 51 games in Sweden this season, in addition to four assists in 15 playoff games. He has an interesting profile for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, who drafted the youngster in 2022, 92nd overall.
It fits what CH is looking for, basically.

Interesting profile. Very mobile.
Another stern adds to the large Canadian basin.

He clearly adds to a well-stocked group of defenders. There will undoubtedly be transactions this summer, but currently, 13 people are eyeing the position in Montreal.
There will be people at Mass.

TrudeauIt will be time to make decisions this summer and in October regarding defence #CH.
But I have the impression that the Rocket will be in a good position on the blue line! 😉 #imprisonment
