Injury Report: Enstrom Knee Surgery

[irunthepeg]

One thing I just looked up on Enstrom is how little points he's scored the last few seasons. When I think of him I think "50 point defenseman" but it seems he's focused more on the defensive aspect of the game the last few seasons? Or is this just because of the decreased scoring.

Less PP TOI
Aging / less efficiency
Lowered scoring across league

He was still making "tight turns".

I once saw a pair of 39's!

Nothing wrong with getting a jump on next season as this one is lost,still need him for next year while we shore up the left side.

Ah, thank you Vito Makes sense. Regardless, hope he heals up well. While I think Morrissey may be the future of our LDs, Toby is still very much needed, IMO.

I would rather have a player score less points and play better defence.

sure did, while he was looking for the carom off the backboards!

To the line, no further?

I remember that.

I believe it was career game number five hundred and thirty seven.

I'll rephrase that for you so you understand my post had nothing to do with Little

Ehlers (winger), Armia (winger) and Josh (LHD) hurt while Ladd (winger), Perreault (winger) and Toby (LHD) out.

Also Peluso, Stuart and Clitsome.

Oh for sure! Not saying I want to get rid of him because of that. Just curious cause in my head I think "offensive defenseman" but if he's transitioning to more of a good defensive defenseman then I'm still happy.

I think he was a lot more offensive when it was just him and buff in our back end. I think they're letting our right side chip in on offense and our left is staying at home

Maurice was asked about this and his answer was kinda like, "this isn't the Thrashers any more, we try to play defense now."

It's probably day surgery where they put a small hole in the knee and clean out some debris. He'll be fine.

Arthroscopy? Day surgery yes, but recuperative time is wildly un- predictable.

Also Peluso, Stuart and Clitsome.

?! None of those three would open up a big minutes spot for one of our younger guys. Which was my point all along.
