Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

Engvall also has a 16 team NTC. Depending on how motivated he is to fly on planes instead of ride on buses, he may need to waive that.

he’s currently making about 4x league minimum with 6 years of security. Who in their right mind gives that up? He’s a former seventh round pick that basically hit the lottery. What’s to say he’s guaranteed a spot long-term on another NHL club? He’d have to be a complete moron to throw all of that money away

I agree! Still. it doesn't always work out that way. We don't know all there is to know about people. (For all we know he's independently wealthy, or has a spouse who is a brain surgeon & he wants to be a stay at home Dad - a valid choice). But I think all of that looks too far into the future.

For this year,. Engvall has a chance to learn to do the things he's going to have to do in order to make back to the Islanders. And, for me, it doesn't necessarily have to do with physical play. Rather, he's going to have to become an excellent defender. He's got to get better at taking routes for shooters, his stick in passing lane, and blocking shots without turning away. He's got to be a contributor on the PK. If he can do those things, he'll be back. If he can't, he will have to settle at Bridgeport, or seek the healing beaches at Isle du Robidas.

In addition to 7 years Lou gave him a ridiculous NTC. That is nutty.

Does 7 year Scotty have a NTC?

Anyone know what time waiver claims usually announced?

Believe it’s 2 PM EST

He can also make the team next season

Palmieri is likely to be a casualty of FA this year. There will also be injuries - Duclair hasn’t exactly been a paragon of health over his career. If I’m him I’m cashing the check, riding the bus and hoping for another shot from the motor inn

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Egg, meet face. I was completely wrong, y'all were right.

I'm shocked that Lou made this move considering the trade and money that was involved with Engvall.

I'm also shocked that 28 year old with 300+ NHL games who averages around 30 points per season played himself out of a roster spot. And not like this roster is the 2001-02 Red Wings either...

I doubt Engvall would terminate his contract. He has 18 million reasons to ride the bus. He wont make that type of money in europe

Here to post the same. I was surprised, but pleasantly so by the move. I'm glad the roster consists of players the coaching staff fee have earned their stay.

Can he block a waiver claim due to the 16 team NTC?

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Can he block a waiver claim due to the 16 team NTC?

No, he has no power over waiver claims. Just some power over trades.

 

[JRD76]

Correct, I believe this happened to Barclay Goodrow who was claimed by the sharks who was on his no trade list last year.

 

[MikeyMike01]

That would require a NMC.
