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.
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.
