Here's where I'm at with Ennis. He's not a great player that much we all know. But there are a couple things that I want to point out. One we are a salary cap team, always have been the past few years. I'm really getting tired of buyout money costing us some of that space. It's ridiculous. Second point, it's been shown that a team needs 14-15 forwards throughout the year and let's face it, Ennis did score 22 points this year. Not great, but not 0. Sure if we can trade him for no salary taken back that's awesome, but if we can't get that with Scandella I see almost 0% chance of that happening with Ennis. So now it's either buyout or keep him. Why not keep him and put him through waivers? Cutting him isn't gonna save that much space isn't his buyout like 2.1 over 2 which is his salary anyway? Put him in Iowa until he is needed (or not hopefully) and be done with him after next year. Please GMCF no buyouts unless absolutely necessary.
Edit: looks like we would actually save about a million going the buyout option... still don't like it though.
