Wtf 7??

 

[Throttle]

Go long Lou!

 

[IslesCLT]

Want to see AAV, but dude can skate and we need skaters.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

$3mil AAV

3 Million.

This doesn't bother me.

 

[IslesCLT]

3 Million.

This doesn't bother me.

Yup. $3M is where I was expecting. No issues with this.

 

[Lame Lambert]

7 years is hilariously bad

 

[PK Cronin]

Not really. He's young enough and the cost is low enough that even as a bottom 6 it's fine.

 

[Lights911]

Happy about this, Engvall is very underrated.

 

[SRBisles]

This deal is going to age like a fine wine. Engvall has 20/20 in him next year.

 

[Taswell]

Remember when we couldn't get people to come here let alone stay? Now they sign their whole careers to stay here

 

[CaptDenisPotvin]

He's def something we need in the lineup, speed on the wing. Any type of finishing from him over the course of the next few seasons and this can be a real win for the Isles.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I was a big fan of Engvall’s ability to be a second zone entry playing flying through the zone with his speed other than Barzal. Having another option is great.

Also, he one of the few to step up these playoffs.

 

[HyeDray]

He clicked with Nelson and IF (big if) he can be a steady 40 point guy over 7 seasons then this is a good enough deal. If the chemistry builds and he can reach the coveted 20-goal mark in a handful of those years — its and even better deal. Ultimately, it is an intriguing contract.

 

[nyisleslover]

You can tell Lou is planning on trading next year's 1st round pick away again, because everyone on the team is signed for the next 7 years. There'll be no room on the roster for new draft picks to break the lineup! We might not even need a GM for the next 7 years.

 

[2ndGenIslander]

Someone who can actually shoot and score sometimes for 3 million on this team? That’s fine. Term a little long but it’s cheap enough

 

[Chardo]

How much is to total dead space buyout in 3 years for everyone?

 

[steveat]

I am fine with 3m...really...at years 4/5/6/7 that 3m will be like 1m now.

 

[The Real JT]

This deal is going to age like a fine wine. Engvall has 20/20 in him next year.

What are you, an Ophthalmologist?

 

[SI90]

Don’t like the 7 years but this is worth $3mil all day. Just need to increase his role/TOI.

 

[Metnut]

Unlike two of the other deals today, there’s a real chance he outplays this contract. I don’t mind long deals taking a gamble on a player during his prime years.

The Verlamov and Mayfield deals scare me though.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I'll echo that 7 years seems crazy, but you keep the AAV low that way, I guess.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Yup. $3M is where I was expecting. No issues with this.

'No issues' seems a bit much

 

[Seph]

Good deal. He looked on the verge of breaking out offensively last season, which could turn this into a steal if it happens. If nothing else he makes us faster and bigger, and those are things we need.
