Nice one Lou

Mrfenn92 · 2024-10-06T13:58:52-0400

Bad deal the day they signed it

Chainshot · 2024-10-06T13:59:34-0400

Can't see anyone hopping on that contract.

Empoleon8771 · 2024-10-06T13:59:36-0400

Engvall seems like he had a decent year last year, but this is why you don't give depth players 7 year deals.

I don't know why anyone is willing to go over 3 or 4 years for clear bottom-6 guys.

serp · 2024-10-06T14:02:10-0400

Safe to say nobody is picking up that wierd long ass contract for a depth player.

GM of the year?

JTToilinginToronto · 2024-10-06T14:05:22-0400

Hopefully someone picks him up.

S E P H · 2024-10-06T14:06:36-0400

Good player, even though his contract sucks.

WarriorofTime · 2024-10-06T14:07:18-0400

Only 6 years left on the deal! Teams will be tripping over themselves to claim.

Engvall can still be a useful NHL player, but he needs to adhere to certain standards the coach sets (which he did not do during camp).

I think the whole idea is that he couldn’t keep these guys under the cap if they get fair UFA value so he extends out the contract to keep AAV low. Worked for Cizikas, who could have gotten 4 mil+ elsewhere. Jury is out on Mayfield’s deal, he was hurt all of last year. This one is a disaster.

I kind of get the reasoning. Guy in his mid 20s who has the build that many NHLers could only dream of. Plus he skates like the wind. Seems like a player who could provide a $3M value.

The one caveat is that I didn't know how much of a p**** Pierre is. It's known that he's soft, but he takes it to an extreme. He's wet toilet paper soft. Kittens are tougher than he is.

LemonSauceD · 2024-10-06T14:15:59-0400

Why tf would you sign a 4th liner to a 7 year deal. Holy shit Lou time to retire.

LeafSadist · 2024-10-06T14:16:48-0400

All's well that's Engvall.

seafoam · 2024-10-06T14:18:05-0400

"I think that what happened, simplistically, is that he's a top six, top nine forward, and Maxim Tsyplakov earned his way into that role, and basically, we have to make the best decisions for the best lineup we can put together," Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello said on Sunday morning. "It's as simple as that. It's not that he did anything wrong, but he basically lost the job at this point. He is not a bottom-six player.

"I still believe in him and his talent and his abilities, but there's only so much room, and with Anthony Duclair coming in for the top line, and then Max fitting in...Now, things can change."

BHD · 2024-10-06T14:21:41-0400

Wasn't consistency the issue with him in Toronto?

MikeyMike01 · 2024-10-06T14:28:27-0400

This smells like a salary cap move to be able to afford a full roster to me.

I’m more surprised about Bolduc than Engvall.

le_sean · 2024-10-06T14:36:56-0400

lol looks good on dinosaur Lou

Hammman · 2024-10-06T14:43:03-0400

Is this the most term left on a contract that's been put on waivers in league history?

Isles dressing 15 forwards every night? :sarcasm:
