Amazing how different the team is after just 2 years.

Good for Tyler, glad he still has a career in the National league.

[dudacek]

Damn, now I can’t root for Tyler pulling his game back together.

How does this match up with Dubas’ rep as a moneypuck guru?

Sure, it’s a small investment, but it is also an investment in a player who has failed as an NHL player three years running.

That's how I saw it, tbh -- a smart-money, low-risk, high-upside move. That's notwithstanding the struggles Ennis has had. There's still that chance he finds his form. And if he does -- playing sheltered minutes down on the third line? He could be a real asset.

He's had two consecutive seasons being the worst regular skater on a team, both a bad team and a playoff team. As long as you don't count Deslauriers as a regular skater, which he probably was, but that muddles my simple point.

What chance to see the upside though? Is there really evidence to show there’s more there than with, say, Justin Bailey or Matt Moulson?

Tyler had the shot already in Minny and blew it. He’s been bad three years running.

[pi2000]

He just hasn't been the same since the head injury.  Sad.

Pretty slim chance, I'd think. But, at the same time, a very marginal investment and risk.

Truly. He really was a fun player to watch and cheer for.

I thought the Leaves were set at centre.

Tavares insurance!

I've always liked Ennis.  Agree with the sentiment upthread that he never got all the way back from that season missed post-concussion.

 

He'll probably get his minutes against the bottom of the opponents' rosters, though, so maybe he'll put up some points for the Leafs.

I think he gets cut after training camp. 

[Scottysabres]

That concussion issue really derailed his career. Hope he turns it around.

Not for nothing, but how did this guy not end up with the nickname of Tennis? I feel like we dropped the ball on that one, guys.

[That Aud Smell]

Because the nickname Enzo is irresistible.

Mostly because it's terrible.

Because puns suck. Is that even a pun? Well whatever it is, it sucks.
