Pierre Engvall

The 24 year old came out of nowhere to earn himself a new contract extension and a full time job on one of the NHL’s best teams.

Engvall scored 14 points in 48 games, 52% CF, 50% SF, 53% GF, 51%xGF and 1 WAR.

That is an incredible amount of production and success for a fourth line player.  To top it off, he’s an incredible penalty killer, ranking among the best in the NHL in the 99th percentile.

Engvall, Spezza, and Clifford give the Toronto Maple Leafs an absolute bonkers fourth line that shouldn’t even be possible in a salary cap league.
