I am a bit of a believer that Engellend has value to this team who lack physical players that will stand up for teammates and drop the gloves. The Pilers have quickly added a lot of goon to their lineup. Nurse, Lucic, Kassian, Maroon is a goon squad that will try and physically intimidate the Flames. LA and Amaheim are still really big teams. I don't see much of a use for Engellend outside of being a good teammate that will fight who he needs to for his team.
Brouwer, Tkachuk, and Chiasson are big body wingers that will help with needed size on the wing. I do see Engellend and Bollig dressing nearly every game against the Oil this year and likely games against the bigger California teams
