matter2003 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Some surprises here for sure... http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-releases-list-players-protected-vegas-expansion-draft/ So after signing Ullmark we did not protect him. I would think Carrier is bye-bye and that's too bad I liked him It's impossible to say without knowing what side deals were made with Vegas Quote
pi2000 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Lots of Ennis hate on here. When healthy he's a dynamic goal scorer, slick puck handler, great is small areas. Even when he's not scoring he makes it difficult on opposing defensemen. If I'm Vegas I try to sign Kulikov during the exclusive window. He would become their pick from BUF. But then also try to trade them Moulson which they could use his veteran leadership and power play expertise. Could happen. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Lots of Ennis hate on here. When healthy he's a dynamic goal scorer, slick puck handler, great is small areas. Even when he's not scoring he makes it difficult on opposing defensemen. I assure you, the past 2 seasons opposing defensemen breathe sighs of relief when Ennis hits the ice. Quote
LikeEich Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I assure you, the past 2 seasons opposing defensemen breathe sighs of relief when Ennis hits the ice. 2015/16 23 games 11 points. Basically sums up the season. 16/17 51 games 13 points. So clearly a bad season, wasn't in game shape for much of it. Injuries are one thing, but going around saying he can't skate anymore is another(not implying you're saying that). Give the guy a chance to really get healthy and in shape. 35+ points isn't a stretch by any means and I fully expect him to achieve that this season. Quote
pi2000 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I assure you, the past 2 seasons opposing defensemen breathe sighs of relief when Ennis hits the ice. He hasn't been healthy, but he looked more like his old self down the stretch. He could be Dr. Phil's Arvidsson. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I feel like I'm going a little crazy reading all these positive takes on Ennis. I love the guy. He should retire. Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I'm sorry if someone already covered this. Is there an assumption that LV is going to take someone from our pool that will be an immediate NHL talent? They get to dress 20 guys. How many picks are going straight to the farm? I see a lot of juicy AHL talent on everyone's list. Ullmark's new deal makes him less juicy IMO. Why wouldn't LV take a really good AHL on a good deal? A guy with winning experience like Schneider? That is why I picked Schneider :p Quote
pi2000 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I feel like I'm going a little crazy reading all these positive takes on Ennis. I love the guy. He should retire. Why? he's 27 entering his prime. He showed flashes of his old self the last couple weeks of the season. Buy low, sell high, I'm buying. Quote
LikeEich Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I feel like I'm going a little crazy reading all these positive takes on Ennis. I love the guy. He should retire. I think alot of the mentality has to do with him being the longest tenured sabre. All the built up resentment from the last several years you know what I mean? Imagine we just picked him up in a trade for a 7th, go back look at highlights and his stats. He can help the offense, and yah his cap sucks but were up for a restructure in 2 years anyway.

WildCard Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Why? he's 27 entering his prime. He showed flashes of his old self the last couple weeks of the season. Buy low, sell high, I'm buying.I don't think he should retire but he's definitely not entering his prime. He's going to be 28 and I think he can put up 5 or so more 20 goal seasons though Quote

Buy low, sell high, I'm buying.I haven't seen him play like the Ennis of old in a long long time. He's got the fear in him, and rightly so. Another concussion could be devastating to his personal health. Quote

WildCard Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Why on earth do you think he can do that? His s% for the last two seasons is 1/2 of what his career average is, and that's including those crappy seasons. He's had some bad concussion luck, terrible coaching, and nowhere really to play for those last two seasons. He'll be fully healthy on a team that values speed and be put into a much better position to succeed. Quote
Neo Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) No hate for Ennis, here, but instead a cold look at the facts. What's the over/under on how many more NHL goals he scores in his career? I'll say 49. Over or under? Edited June 19, 2017 by Neo Quote

Sabel79 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 No hate for Ennis, here, but instead a cold look at the facts. What's the over/under on how many more NHL goals he scores in his career? I'll say 49. Over or under? If actually betting the odds would be so slanted towards the under that I'd have to toss a few bucks on the over just in case. Which is what they want me to do, but I digress. Under. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I seem to be a terrible book maker! Maybe not - I'd bet the only people to respond so far think the next person to breathe on Ennis will end his career, and WC is predicting at least 100 more goals just a few posts north! Quote
inkman Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Is it bad that I just don't care? I mean we are losing one player anyway but any GM worth his salt should be able to find a replacement for literally anyone we left unprotected. Troof I seem to be a terrible book maker! Can I bet you on that? Quote
bunomatic Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 On Ennis. I'm in the camp that fears for his noggin and his future self. For his sake I hope he doesn't get concussed again but man would it be nice to see him regain his old form. Quote
ubkev Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I don't think he should retire but he's definitely not entering his prime. He's going to be 28 and I think he can put up 5 or so more 20 goal seasons though His 97 goals in his past 8 seasons say that this ain't freakin happening. Quote
WildCard Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 His 97 goals in his past 8 seasons say that this ain't freakin happening.Yeah that stat alone pretty much tells me I'm wrong. Still, I think maybe 3 isn't unreasonable Quote
ubkev Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Yeah that stat alone pretty much tells me I'm wrong. Still, I think maybe 3 isn't unreasonable I'm pretty sure that I could spot him 6 and not have to worry about him hitting 20. Quote
Sabel79 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 His 97 goals in his past 8 seasons say that this ain't freakin happening. But that's 419 games played, which is slightly more than five seasons. So if he can stay heal... oh. Never mind. Quote
