Pierre Engvall Waived By Islanders One Year Into Seven-Year Contract
New York Islanders left wing Pierre Engvall has been placed on waivers just one year into a seven-year, $21 million contract. Engvall was handed the contract following a strong end-of-the-season stretch he had with the Islanders in 2022-23. After he was acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Engvall averaged 0.5 points per game with the team in 18 appearances. However, Engvall's production dropped massively during his first full season with the Islanders. He finished last term with 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 74 games. The Swedish forward has a 16-team no-trade list attached to his contract, which has made it difficult for the Islanders to move him.
Pierre Engvall Scores Game-Winner Against Former Team
New York Islanders left wing Pierre Engvall scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 victory against the Maple Leafs. The late goal was Engvall's sixth of the year, as the forward collected a rebound from close range to put the Islanders ahead with two minutes remaining in the final frame. Engvall has managed to record 15 points through 44 games, resulting in minimal fantasy relevance across fantasy formats.
