LabattBlue Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Anyone else find it strange that Ennis has yet to sign a contract with camp a little over a month away? I don't think there is a lot of negotiating room with the entry level contracts, so why the delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a lot of negotiating room with the entry level contracts, so why the delay? I know that, unlike Myers, he is old enough to play in the AHL this year, but I don't think that he has to. So, they can evaluate him in camp and sign him if they think that he is ready. If not, they could send him back to juniors and it wouldn't count toward his entry-level contract. Shrader can probably confirm or deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrader can probably confirm or deny. Because of his age there is virtually no chance that he goes back to juniors. Darcy talks about him like he is already signed so i don't know what the hold up is. This whole off season has been kind of strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you how much I've been paying attention. It is strange though. There won't be any negotiation here. He'll get the max deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlecap Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks guys for the heads up here. From what I heard, this kid is one of our top prospects. Crank up the fax machine Darcy. :wallbash: Come to think of it, I haven't used a thumbs up :thumbsup: for a long, long time. So here are some gratuitous thumbs up, as in thumbs up management's a**. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Still no news on the Ennis front. :unsure: From your BN article this morning Regier also is working on a contract agreement with forward Tyler Ennis, one of two first-round picks in the 2008 entry draft. Ennis had 43 goals each of the past two seasons for Medicine Hat of the Western Hockey League, and his next team is likely the Sabres’ minor league affiliate in Portland. “He’ll come to camp and we’ll work on his contract, but the expectation is that he’ll turn pro and not return to junior this year,” Regier said.

SabresBillsFan Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if Gerbe, Ennis and Kennedy all start in Portland. I just don't see the Sabres rushing those guys to fill the roster now. But I guess we will see. If one of them start tearing it up in the preseason that will be the only way he makes the roster for opening night. Ennis isn't signed yet but he will be by the end of training camp i will bet on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheTank Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I haven’t heard one thing about this kid’s progress from Sabers management or sports reports. He looks like the real deal. From- http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/tyler_ennis 2007-08: An offensive threat and power play specialist, Ennis represented Team WHL versus Team Russia at the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge and participated at the 2008 Home Hardware Top Prospects game. In 70 appearances with Medicine Hat (WHL), Ennis racked up 91 points, and an additional four points in five postseason games. Talent Analysis Ennis is a pure offensive talent who possesses excellent speed and quickness. At 5-9, he is able to use his skating ability to undress defenders or carry the puck until the play develops. He has a quick shot, and is very effective in setting up teammates.

From- http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/tyler_ennis Scouting reports are great and all, but if you go only by those, just about every prospect is made out to be the real deal. High hopes for the kid are completely realistic, but I want to see more on the ice before I'm ready to say anything about him. Oh, and make a quick edit on the spelling of the team name in your post and we'll pretend it never happened. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Scouting reports are great and all, but if you go only by those, just about every prospect is made out to be the real deal. High hopes for the kid are completely realistic, but I want to see more on the ice before I'm ready to say anything about him. Oh, and make a quick edit on the spelling of the team name in your post and we'll pretend it never happened. ;) Exactly. And the link he posted to, the "scouting" report is not made by any expert, just a fan like many here. There has been a lot of players who are awesome at lower levels but their game never develops to the NHL level. That said though, I really think Ennis could be a very special player. I've seen several games in WHL of his and WJC, and he's been great. However, most people who watch him nightly (local reporters, coaches, fans) always droll over this kid's talent. I've only watched several games, so my opinion is limited, but those people see him nightly. His size will always be a question mark until he proves it though. Sad but it is what it is when you're 5'9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
