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

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