Butch Goring was not the former Islanders forward to receive the Hall of Fame call on Wednesday.

Instead, Pierre Turgeon — an Islander from 1991-95 and the last player in franchise history to score over 50 goals in a season — was a surprise election to the Hall, getting in over the likes of Alexander Mogilny and Patrik Elias as well as Goring.

Turgeon, who played for six teams over a 19-year career, received Hart Trophy votes for the only time after the 1992-93 season with the Islanders, when he scored 58 goals with 74 assists, finishing fifth in the league in points.

That team was amongst the most successful post-Dynasty Islanders outfits, upsetting the Mario-Lemieux-led Penguins in the second round of the playoffs while Turgeon was out injured before losing to the Canadiens in the conference finals when he came back to the lineup.

Turgeon also won the Lady Byng Award in 1992-93, the only individual award of his career.

Bringing him to Long Island required a massive deal with the Sabres, who drafted Turgeon in 1987.

Turgeon, Benoit Hogue, Uwe Krupp and Dave McLlwain were sent to New York with Pat LaFontaine, Randy Hillier, Randy Wood and a fourth-round pick going back to Buffalo — a rare deal that included two Hall of Famers being swapped.

The Islanders have made it that far in the postseason just twice since 1993, and Turgeon’s 50th goal that season is amongst the highlights regularly played at UBS Arena.

Two seasons later, Turgeon was dealt to the Canadiens with Vladimir Malakhov in a deal that brought back Craig Darby, Kirk Muller and Mathieu Schneider — which helped prompt the franchise into its misery-inducing era of the late-90s.

In addition to Montreal and Buffalo, Turgeon also had stints with the Blues, Stars and Avalanche.

He was briefly a part of the coaching staff for the Kings, later resigning due to personal reasons.

Turgeon made four All-Star teams in 1990, 1993, 1994 and 1996.

Instantly, his No. 77 becomes the next candidate for the UBS rafters, which would be the first in the short history of the arena.

Goring’s No. 91 was raised in Nassau Coliseum just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Goring, 73, remains a notable omission from the Hall, having been a part of one of the most impactful trades in league history when the Isles acquired him from the Kings in 1980.

Goring went on to be a major part of the Dynasty, which won four straight championships from 1980-83 before retiring in 1985.
