spndnchz Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'll take it. Good term and small enough to trade away possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre snipe Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'll take it. Good term and small enough to trade away possibly. yep, bought some UFA years and we get to see how he fits with the team as we get bigger and better. (well hopefully we will be in 5 years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Works for me. Ennis might not be a cornerstone player, but he's a nice piece, especially for when he's surrounded by better players. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Reasonable deal for a guy on the upswing of his career. He should be a 20 goal, 50 point guy if he stays healthy. Maybe a little better than that if we surround him with some talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 As much as I'm enjoying that Tyler Ennis has been signed to a good contract, I'm also enjoying that, in this thread so far, everyone is in agreement that he is and/or is capable of being a good player. Reasonable deal for a guy on the upswing of his career. He should be a 20 goal, 50 point guy if he stays healthy. Maybe a little better than that if we surround him with some talent. Agreed. I believe he's capable of 60-65 point seasons with talent. The fit's also good. He's a high-skill player capable of playing wing on a team that has very few high-skill wingers.

deluca67 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 $4.6 average is too much for Ennis. If everything works out as planned, meaning Sabres hit on majority of these top picks, you end up paying a lot of money for a smallish third line winger. It shouldn't be a problem cap wise considering most of the top young talent the Sabres hope to have over the next few years will be on entry level contracts or bridge contracts.

deluca67 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 What do you project Ennis's point totals to be on average over the next 5 years. Best/worst/likely? Depending on the talent that Ennis will possibly be playing with? I think you can count on 15-20 goals about 40 points low end. High end? 20-25 goals 50-60 points in a single season. IMO, if Ennis is in the Sabres top 6 than the Sabres aren't were we all want to see them at as a franchise in the coming years. Ennis is a decent talented player, I'm not trying to drill on the guy. My end high end hopes and expectations for all these young kids the Sabres are accumulating will hopefully slot Ennis where I mentioned, a third line winger.

Hoss Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ennis can be a second line winger on a very good team, in my opinion. He's best fit in the middle here, but when the team really starts performing I think he could be a very good second line winger. I do believe he has 30-goal potential, but the playoffs would likely be rough on him when the team gets deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
