Don't fight it. Just let it happen. Shhhhh Shhhhh 

[Randall Flagg]

Yah.

[WildCard]

Wayne Simmonds baby, or some other forward. it, let's get Duchene for Ennis and some other lazy Russian we have that Colorado wants

[That Aud Smell]

He prolly should sit, though.

This made me giggle.

Why? Because his trade value may still be high? I can understand that, but I'm still pulling for the guy. He's not pulling a Leino or Hodgson. Things will begin to play out. And when they do it'll benefit the Sabres.

Nah, I've seen enough. Dude works hard but unless his health is 100% he's useless. And no NHL player is ever 100% in the playoffs. 

[Stoner]

Go where?

 

Stick to beer league goalie analysis, son.

I'm looking to the playoffs. And I don't see Ennis on a Sabres team in the playoffs.

I'm curious d4rk, what is your success rate on "Player X Needs To Go" threads?

[Stoner]

Between closing Gitmo or this thread, I'd close this thread.

[Neo]

It's funny. Everyone slumps. Everyone's skills decline. Ennis looks like he forgot how to play hockey.

[TrueBlueGED]

I'm perfectly amenable to trading Ennis, but I don't think he has to go. He's clearly struggling not being the guy on a bad team where he's allowed to freewheel and do whatever, yet I think he'll come around.

:angel: 

 

To be fair, I'm only like half serious with this one. 

 

But it's a solid half.

Getting half of it solid is always the hardest part

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'd trade him for.... Steve ott..... Nah.... Welll..... Nahhhh

How long ago was it that 63 was dancing through the Canucks to set up the winning goal?

 

He will turn it around

 

GO SABRES!!!

[darksabre]

GMTM likes the LA Kings model right? Where does Ennis fit there?

Ennis' primary problem is he isn't good enough to do that consistently, but he thinks that he is.

Does that mean it has to be a carbon copy? Ennis is a ~45 point complementary player on a good contract. I have zero issue keeping him as long as he gets to the point where he's playing a better team game.

[WildCard]

I think you can pretty much throw the Kings model out the window with Reinhart and Eichel here and no Doughty, much more likely you're looking at Chicago with Risto-??? becoming Keith and Seabrooke. No doubt GMTM wants to play heavy like the Kings, but the Blues play heavy too, and where has that gotten them?

 

14k posts eh TrueBlue? Congrats

So do I need to raise my pitchfork or not? I would move him happily. I don't see him fitting in long term with so many small guys here. I agree with both of your comments here so if he's going it really does have to be something we are really looking to be better at long term. LHD? Yes, move him if the LHD fits the bill. Move him for the sake of moving him? Hell no. Let him figure it out.

Complementary is the right word. But complementary to whom?

The more I hear it the more I think "playing heavy" is just code for "not talented enough." Tampa and Chicago played for the Cup last year and they're two of the smallest most finesse teams in the league.
