The American Hockey League announced today that forward Tyler Ennis of the Portland Pirates has been named the winner of the Dudley (Red) Garrett Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding rookie for the 2009-10 season, as voted by AHL coaches, players and media in each of the league’s 29 member cities.

 

Ennis, a first-round draft choice (26th overall) by the Buffalo Sabres in 2008, leads all AHL rookies with 23 goals (tied), 42 assists and 65 points in 69 games for Portland this season. He is also second with six game-winning goals and third with nine power-play tallies. Ennis’s first four professional points came courtesy of a hat trick plus an assist vs. Hartford on Oct. 16, his first of 18 multiple-point efforts on the season. The 20-year-old native of Edmonton, Alta., represented the Pirates at the 2010 AHL All-Star Classic in Portland and was voted the most valuable player of the All-Star Game. He also scored a goal in his National Hockey League debut with Buffalo on Nov. 14 and has gone on to post three goals and five assists for eight points in seven games with the Sabres.

Yup.

 

And Briere won it in 1997-98. They're more alike every day.

Ennis and the Gerber baby have both played great in my opinion. :thumbsup:

 

Ennis has really energized the lineup/power play.

Ennis -- agreed.

 

Gerbe -- not so much. I was unimpressed against the Rangers Tuesday night.

I have a hard time envisioning him not in the lineup henceforth.

The Sabres signed Luke Adam today. Could he make it three rookies of the year in a row?
