Problem is that contract

Lou should be in a home.

Lou hasn’t done anything of substance in 21 years, yet people think hes still a genius.

Let’s be honest engvall wasn’t good in Toronto and won’t be good anywhere in the nhl

He will be a Blue Jacket.

A story in three parts:
On October 21, 2022 Lamoriello became the first octogenarian general manager of an NHL franchise
On July 1, 2023, Engvall signed a seven-year, $21 million contract extension with the Islanders
On October 6th 2024, engvall was waived by the islanders

Islander desperately needs a new gm. These old ways don’t work anymore.

He’s so f’ing fast. I think his game is better suited to European ice.
Radu47
All told one of the dumbest sagas in recent league history especially when they try to claim they did this because he had a bad week of preseason hockey or whatever
IMTIRED_85
His neck is too long for his body.
JasonEAltMTG
He is to hockey what Bill Engvall is to hockey

Yearly absurd gm bizarre meltdown:
2024-25 engvall lou
2023-24 Kuzmenko allvin
2022-23 strome no QO Davidson
Also Vrana y
By all means add more
Executives gone wild

Can we pick him up and keep him in the A until needed?

Engvall is a fine player, but that contract was a nightmare the day it was signed.
On a good team Engvall maybe plays on the third line, but more likely is a fourth line player. The problem is despite being a tall guy and built like a brick shithouse, he does not use his size or strength at all, and that completely takes him out of usefulness for those depth roles. The guy is chiseled out of marble but softer than butter.
The one thing he does well is handle the puck down low. He has like a signature move where he picks the puck up down low or in behind the net, and swings his way around the zone until he’s just outside the hash marks where he does this spinning, hooking shot towards the net. It must catch goalies and defenders off guard to see Engvall making a competent play or something because it works way more often than it should.

Engvall is a weird player.
One of the faster skaters out there, great size/length, strong defensively, very good possession driver for a bottom 6er. However, very inconsistent offensively, and very soft for a bottom 6er, especially for one with his size.
I think he’s a solid NHLer, but the contract sucks. Also the Isles have more wing depth than most teams. He’d get easily picked up on a better contract, but on this deal, it’s the AHL for him.

Wait … Is it waviers or waivers?

Saw this coming from miles away as a leafs fan. Big but soft and not much hockey iq. Like a budget jumbo Joe, after he gets old
PersimmonMindless
Fine player paid way too much. This is more an indictment of Lou than Engvall.

My thoughts: Engvall has a really long neck

Engvall was a porn star in Toronto, could never finish

Too bad he shoots like a gurl

I like Lou

He didn’t use his speed. Played like he didn’t want to run into anyone. I had hopes that he’d be good for them. He was pretty nonexistent

Stupid question time. If no one picks Engvall up then, does he just get paid out and drop to the AHL? Or is he then a Free Agent looking for any club that will have him?
