I feel like we could probably move on from Enstrom. He still has a few years left and should fetch a decent return. For the money his possession metrics and his drop off in play this year visually (could be wrong) makes me feel like we wouldn't miss him much.
So Trouba stays on the left. OK.
We bring up Morrissey. OK, probably happens either way.
With Enstrom gone Stu plays 2nd pair D until Morrissey is ready to move up. Then he plays 3rd pair until we develop another LHD we haven't even drafted yet. So 4 years, 5 years more of Stu? No way the return on Toby is worth that.
With Enstrom he and Trouba play top 4. Morrissey plays 3rd pair and Stu finally moves to the PB and then out.
Enstrom has a full no-move clause in his contract. Even if he waived that, it would certainly limit the options.
He hasn't been as good this year as previous years, but he looks much better recently than he did earlier in the season. They should probably keep him at least until they have another good top-4 LD option to replace him.
Except for scoring I thought Toby has been a little better this year. JMO
I think he would waive for the chance to play on a contender. That could mean a list of about 10 acceptable teams. He could be moved I just don't think it is a good idea with no replacement ready.
