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

[Auston Marlander]

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

Y’all are crazy.

$3M for 7 years is a TON for a 4th liner.

 

[me2]

Dementia is a bad trait in a GM.

 

[Isles Junkie]

Decent 3rd line players get 2-3 year contracts max. Not 7 year contracts. Lou's nuts. I hate this deal less than Mayfield because at least I like Engvall as a player. But this is still dumb dumb dumb.

 

[bl02]

WTF??? lol. Is that a 7 or a 2?

 

[FinnLightning26]

Lou probably thinks seven years won't be a problem since he won't be alive to see the end of the contract.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Engvall is a good player. Term is a little wild but could be value as the cap rises.

 

[BHD]

Must have thought he was negotiating with Pierre Turgeon.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

He played well above a 3rd liner after Lou rescued him from the land of playoff despair.

He was good here too for stretches like in NYI, I guess you'll find out now either way.

I'm glad we traded him. We couldn't offer anything like that...and Leaf fans/management weren't keen on him at the 2.5 for 1y. I cannot imagine the reaction to this signing if we gave him this.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

7? The magic number! Seven chipmunks, twirling on a branch. Eating lots of sunflowers on my uncles ranch! You know that old children's tale from the sea!

 

[MTK]

Term is fine but because its only $21m in total. $3m for 2/3 line player that will be scoring 20+ goals


He would of got $3.5-4 for a 3-5 year contract by another team.

Clearly, no one paid attention to his play after he left TOR.

Next Season players similar to engvall's play will be getting around $4.5- $5M for 3/5 yrs

Easy contract to trade if he plays like he did when he got here.

Good gamble, as he shows potential to be a solid 2nd liner but pefect AAV for a 3rd line player with his skill.

Cheap buyout if needed as Cap increases as well

People judge a contract on term when they see 7 yrs.... Once again $21m for 7 .. is good and have no issue with it.

 

[The Management]

He has never scored twenty goals.

Engvall isn't a guy you need to lock up for that kind of term. He's a decent depth guy, but not the kind of guy you build your bottom six around. Baffling.

He seemed to develop good chemistry quick with Nelson. The play style of each player complimented eachother almost perfectly. Palmieri was the best as the 3rd option on that line too. Term is a bit puzzling but AAV is not bad at all.

 

[pickles555]

21 million over 7 years,

One million for every inch of his neck

 

[dredeye]

How the f is Engvall getting a 7 yr deal.

 

[beach]

I'm so glad ownership forced Lou out when they did...

When the Isles bottom out its gonna be hilariously bad

Yeah because the Leafs have had such great success since LL was "forced" out

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Cool, 1 year for every inch of his neck.

 

[SKNJD9]

Yeah because the Leafs have had such great success since LL was "forced" out

I'm a Devils fan...

 

[Chardo]

Lou doesn't care about term. He'll be gone before the contracts end. He only cares about cap hit.

 

[Riseonfire]

$3M for 7 years is a TON for a 4th liner.

Lmao 4th liner. Good one.

 

[dez]

Lou will be 106 when this contract is over.

 

[End of Line]

Cool, 1 year for every inch of his neck.

I read this as dick

 

[miscs75]

Lmao 4th liner. Good one.

They just signed David Kampf. If Engvall is a 4th liner, Kampf must be an AHL healthy scratch for comparison.

 

[Auston Marlander]

They are both 4th liners. Eng all could be more, but refuses to use his size. Holds the puck forever and does nothing with it.

Also deflecting to something completely irrelevant to your signing says a lot about how bad this is.

 

[sxvnert]

A 7 year deal for engvall is insane.

Engvall showed he could be more when given the chance with guys who fit his playstyle. It seems like he is the main puck carrier with his linemates (Nelson and Palmieri) here vs The big 3 in Toronto. He wasn’t physical for a guy who’s 9 feet tall but he did seem to use his speed very well to help create space for Brock to do what he does best.
