pi2000 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Doesn't this expose Eichel and Reinhart? Or do I not understand the rules? Players with 2 years or less pro experience are exempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Riley Sheahan signed for 2 years at just over $2 million per. Pretty good Zemgus comparable if you're GMTM, IMO Edited June 15, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Riley Sheahan signed for 2 years at just over $2 million per. Pretty good Zemgus comparable if you're GMTM, IMO He'll always be a cocaine fueled drunk teletubby to me! but yep, Riley is a good hockey player. Was a lot of fun to watch him last year. Detroit would be wise to keep him and Larkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I wouldn't protect Ennis. :ph34r: If the timing were different, that could be a downright clever play. (I.e., market value is low because of the head injury - the new team might pass as a result). Assuming he's healthy, he'd be as good as gone.

Thorny Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 That may be right. I'm still pulling for him to make it work with the Sabres. Ennis to me is a fortune-changing wildcard. Some have written him off, and I confess to not mentally factoring him in to future plans. But then sometimes I think about how he played the two seasons before this past one. And hindsight is just that, but there was a time when I looked at his 21 goals and 22 assists in a HORRID tank year, as a twenty-four year old, former first round pick, and thought: this guy would go 30g 30a for 60 points with good line mates on a good team. That would unquestionably be dynamic first line production. Now, he didn't do that last year, having only played 23 games. But we are only one year removed from that optimism. The head injuries are the biggest concern now. But players with significant head issues have overcome them. Crosby and Bergeron to name a couple. Obviously that doesn't always happen. But sometimes it's fun to think about the value we could potentially still get from this guy. Now clearly there's no way to know if he'll turn things around, and I've been vocal about wanting Stamkos. But if we could somehow find out that Ennis was going to return to his former trajectory, I may consider myself OFF the Stamkos bandwagon. He could give us that top 6 scoring presence that we seem to be lacking, for a fraction of the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could give us that top 6 scoring presence that we seem to be lacking, for a fraction of the cost. Even if Ennis is just who he has shown--a 20 goal 20-25 assist player...that's a nice depth scoring piece, especially if we evolve to more of a balanced three line structure (not that I expect this, but one can hope). How many 40 point players do most Cup teams have? Not a ton. It's a valuable commodity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I'd get clarification in writing. This league is so full of s#!t I wouldn't put it past them to change what they meant as the expansion draft begins. There's no doubt this is already done... And there will be an official list of players exposed/protected provided by each team so it's not like the league can randomly change it...

How many 40 point players do most Cup teams have? Not a ton. It's a valuable commodity. Definitely. Did want to point out though that he still has potential to be even more, and perhaps the answer for that finishing winger we want with Jack. I don't think the two played together very much last year at. all. I still think one should take the shot at Stamkos if possible, but my desire to do so would probably be mitigated somewhat if we somehow had a guarantee of a returned-to-form Ennis (but for obvious reasons it's impossible to know that).
