There is a young player starting to get more and more buzz within the Montreal Canadiens organization, and in a positive way - he's turning out to be quite the acquisition for Kent Hughes.
We're all excited to see the Habs go deep in the playoffs, and most of us are probably hoping Hughes can add a big name this summer. But we shouldn't lose sight of the great prospects slowly but surely making their way up.
We often think of Ivan Demidov, Michael Hage, David Reinbacher, Jacob Fowler, and even Logan Mailloux.. But there are also a few hidden gems.
One of those is named Adam Engstrom.

With mid-round picks, management always hopes to find players who, a few years after being drafted, suddenly emerge as serious NHL prospects.
In the case of Adam Engstrom, the Habs' 92nd overall pick in 2022, it's safe to say it's been a success for Montreal!
Engstrom is turning into a very intriguing prospect!

There's even talk that his trade market value is surprisingly high.
"In a recent episode of the Shaun Starr Show, analyst Marco D'Amico didn't hesitate to say that Engstrom is, in his opinion, the prospect who's made the biggest leap this year."
