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 more than 50 goals in a season — was a surprise selection to the Hall’s 2023 class, getting in over the likes of former Devils 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 in his career after the 1992-93 season with the Islanders, when he scored 58 goals with 74 assists to finish fifth in the league in points.

That team was among the most successful post-Dynasty Islanders outfits, upsetting the Mario Lemieux-led Penguins in the second round of the playoffs while Turgeon was out with an injury before losing to the Canadiens in the conference finals after 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 had 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 among the highlights regularly played at UBS Arena.

Two seasons later, Turgeon was traded to the Canadiens with Vladimir Malakhov in a deal that brought back Craig Darby, Kirk Muller and Mathieu Schneider, which helped move the Islanders into their 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 will become the next candidate for the UBS rafters, which would be the first jersey retirement in the short history of the new arena.

Goring’s 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 Islanders 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 he retired in 1985.
