Ennis ,has been better than I anticipated,mind you,that wasn't much. He is however playing with the #1 even strength scorer in the league !!! How nice for him! He has been lucky as well!
Leivo , has not been bad or impressive. He has not played with Matthews or JT. Therefore, a fair comparison is not truly available between the two.
They are different type players. In the long run , I feel that Leivo would be the more useful player. I don't see where Ennis fits once Willy comes back. If the thinking he would be with Kadri,then why not play him there now?
There are other players as well that both players are competing against (none of which are playing with Matthews) but, Waivers,Money and Politics are a reality. I believe the team was already made up on paper and that there would need to be a standout performance to change that!
