Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] F Pierre Engvall re-signs with the Islanders (7 years, $3M AAV)

[Kaners PPGs]

No one is gonna take him on waivers. If they do, NYI should be sending that franchise Christmas cards and Dom Perignon for the next decade…

I agree which is why it would be silly to demand a trade.

82 years old.
7th year on the job.
Several coaching changes.
Above average but never elite team throughout.
I imagine this is his last season.

He’s 82 already ? Man, time flies

Lou's just playing th long game here. Engvall at 3 mill in five years when the cap is 120 will be looked at as one of the best bargains in the AHL at that point.

Looks like you were off by about 4 years

Buddy of mine who has inside info about the Bridgeport Islanders says Lou just cancelled GPS order for the team bus. With Envall now there, they decided to have Pierre stick his 3 foot neck out the bus window instead.

He'd have to report to the A and play it out. Otherwise, the Isles would absolutely terminate his contract if he doesn't report. Probably looking at a buyout in 2025, unless the Isles are willing to use up 1 of their retention spots for the remainder of his contract.

It used to be so, so frustrating watching him play as a leafs fan. Good thing I’m not a Bridgeport islanders fan because watching a big, mobile player be that soft is infuriating. He’s literally the softest player in the league

 

[Leafs87]

As soon as I saw this signing I figured this would eventually be the faith of Pierre. Surprised it happened in year 2

 

[Jumptheshark]

Interesting move to send him down

How does Lou Lamoriello still have a job?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I mean 3M is not a lot. He’s young enough, this will likely be a steal.

Y’all are crazy.

Good call. That this was an atrocious deal was obvious to everyone but isles fans.

Yeah. Like we always say "wait till last year"

I kinda think it's a message to him and everyone else that Roy isn't playing around and everyone best be on point and ready to conform

It wouldn't shock me to see him back sooner rather than later I'd he does what's asked

Next question is how long till we hear "Patrick lost the room"

Only aholes come in and play Monday morning QB. You are lucky I have a life and don't feel like surfing your whole history to bring up all the things you were wrong about, lol.

A lot of Islander fans didn't like it.

Jeez man I just making a joke

How does Lou Lamoriello still have a job?

through some odd circumstances, he ended up with 3 hall of famers on his roster 30 years ago and got 3 cups out of it. that's it. he's been mostly garbage for 20 years now.

Jeez man I just making a joke

Read the room, lol.

Pierre is probably the only player in Bridgeport with a 16-team no-trade list.

Not aging well, Cotton.

I uhhh..... have a lot of time to still be right?

You just got confused because he has looked 82 since 1996

No I was only confused because of your double post and that too it was just for a second

Wrong sport

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

First game at the Bridge tonight. We'll see if this kid is gonna be an NHL player someday.

 

[Fatass]

Islanders could have used this guy against Utah.

 

[Leafshater67]

This team is so cooked. They’re in hockey purgatory with barely any prospects and a bunch of guys past their prime or just plain not good on long term deals.
