Lou Lamoriello and Patrick Roy decided to place a premium on accountability and make an example of the forward.
Pierre Engvall, who still has six years and $18 million left on his contract, was among those placed on waivers as the Islanders jettisoned a number of players to get down to 22 on the roster.Though the 28-year-old had a bad training camp and had been clearly beaten out by others, Engvall’s contract appeared to make it more likely that he would start the season as a healthy scratch, with the chance to make it back into the fold soon.
The plan is also for Matt Martin, who is on a PTO, to stay on his contract and practice with the Islanders. He started camp on the third line with Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau — a trio that had success when together in the playoffs — and Roy talked about wanting to keep them together. If Engvall is bought out, he would cost the Islanders $1 million annually through 2035; if not, they will be dealing with a $3 million hit through 2030.
