Pierre Engvall: our analysis
2024-25 season: 62 GP, 8 G, 7 A, 15 PTS, -7 +/-, 11:49 TOI. WAR 1.3 (122nd of 596) · PAL 32, below average.
In 2024-25, Pierre Engvall, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 32 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 1.3 ranks 122nd among 596 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: defense (78, well above average) and possession (70, above average). On the other hand, discipline (5, among the weakest in the league) and power play (19, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+2.5); his biggest cost: penalties (-1.1).
A marked decline: his PAL was 49 in 2023-24, against 32 now; his WAR, though, went from 1.0 to 1.3.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 26 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Pierre Engvall's story
Growing up in Ljungby, Pierre Engvall came through IF Troja-Ljungby before joining Frölunda’s system and making his first senior appearances in Sweden in 2014–15. Those early years established him as a forward able to move up from junior levels into the professional ranks and to play primarily on the wing.
Selected 188th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Engvall opted for more ice time in HockeyAllsvenskan and signed with Mora IK on 8 May 2015. A notable 2015–16 campaign with Mora earned him a contract extension and eventually opened the door to North America: on 12 April 2017 he signed an amateur try-out with the Maple Leafs’ AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, and appeared in one postseason game before returning to Sweden.
On 7 May 2017 he agreed to a two-year deal with reigning SHL champions HV71. In 2017–18 he produced 20 points in 31 games for HV71 despite missing time due to injury. After that SHL season he joined the Marlies on a try-out on 21 March 2018, and on 18 May 2018 he signed a two-year entry-level contract with Toronto. With the Marlies he was part of the Calder Cup-winning group in 2018.
Engvall made his NHL debut on 19 November 2019 against the Vegas Golden Knights and recorded his first NHL goal on 21 November 2019, scoring short-handed in a win over the Arizona Coyotes. Midway through his initial NHL tenure he agreed to a two-year, $2.5 million extension to remain in Toronto.
On 28 February 2023 the Maple Leafs traded him to the New York Islanders for a 2024 third-round pick. He then signed a seven-year, $21 million extension with the Islanders on 1 July. Ahead of the 2024–25 season he cleared waivers and was assigned to the Bridgeport Islanders in the AHL. Listed as a winger, Engvall’s résumé includes SHL, AHL and NHL experience and a demonstrated ability to contribute offensively, including scoring on the penalty kill.
