Ever since his trade to the New York Islanders on February 28th, Pierre Engvall has been nothing short of impressive.
Wasting no time, he dove right in and started making a significant impact on his new team.
Must read on Daily Hockey Dose
The Islanders acquired Engvall from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 2024 3rd round pick. With his new team, Engvall has already contributed 5 goals and 4 assists, adding to his previous tally of 12 goals and 9 assists with the Leafs. During his four-season tenure with the Leafs, he notched 42 goals and 41 assists.
Eyeing a Major Contract Extension
Given Engvall's successful integration with the Islanders and his outstanding performance, it's highly likely that the team could offer him a generous contract extension during this summer's free agency.
Engvall's existing contract, set to expire at the end of the current season, is valued at $2.5 million. If he continues to deliver on the ice, it won't be a surprise to see the Islanders invest in his talent for the foreseeable future.
