Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Leafs sign Tyler Ennis (1 year, $650K)

[justafan22]

If this happens, wonder if the leafs are making a deal

 

[Stephen]

For the money and term it doesn’t really matter ... but why? Give leivo a spot already

If Leivo can't beat Ennis for a spot...

 

[Dan Kelly]

Best team best city best life. Go Leafs

Until Karlsson gets traded to Tampa, then they will become the cup favorite. And great city to live in with great weather year round.

 

[NoName]

For 650k 1 year, sure! Extra depth in case if injuries is always fine. Besides, if he rediscovers his scoring and puts up 30-40 points (he does have a decent amount of pure talent) then this will look all the better.

He isn’t a plug in for a grinder/checker line but he should be able to sub in on the wings of one of our top 3 lines (ie. in reality, two first lines and a second line) in case of injury. Good depth signing.

 

[CaptPantalones]

Hope he can bounce back. A really good dude off the ice.

 

[zaYG]

Seems like a good reclamation project. I didn't know his stock declined so much.

 

[Jared Dunn]

I like it, young guys will have to earn their spots...I do see this as being the end of Leivo unless he has an amazing camp.

I find it very unlikely that Ennis can beat out Leivo unless Babcock has a hard on for him

 

[LastOne2100]

Hoping for another Mason Raymond Leafs rebound. Not impossible and no risk.

 

[MoreMogilny]

One of those no risk no reward type moves.

 

[Newsworthy]

This move is similar to the Duclair deal however I feel Duclair has a better chance to turn it around and is younger. So it's clearly a no risk move.

 

[Dog]

Do not know why Leafs got him... Trade coming?

Have you seen what Toronto has done to Karlsson?

 

[Tuggy]

For 650k, he's a bargain.

Babcock might try and turn him into a penalty killer.

I don't know about bargain. He's a fringe NHLer.

It's not a bad or good deal.

 

[Meatball]

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Tavares - Marner
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen
Ennis - Lindholm - Brown
Jooris

That is absurd.

 

[DanM]

I don't know about bargain. He's a fringe NHLer.

It's not a bad or good deal.

It's Dubas, he has more moves coming.

 

[DanM]

I cant wait to see karlsson in tampa
Toronto team is stacked but i cant see them ever beating tampa with a healthy lineup


Happy habs fan!

Dubas is not done yet, so don't get too happy or comfortable lol

Yeah, it is not really good or bad. The Leafs are one of the few teams that can think nothing of paying a guy 650k to play in the AHL, with the only inconvenience being a lost contract slot (which isn't an issue at the moment, with only 44 of the 50 allocated).

 

[Mr. Met]

That's interesting lol. You know he hasn't played a game for the Leafs ever right?

Doesn't mean hes not a key part of the organization?

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

good signing - why not?

 

[DopeyFish]

That is absurd.

The third line is absurd

 

[Meatball]

The third line is absurd

Fast, skilled, gritty.

 

[57special]

At 650K/1 year deal, can't really complain here.

Just wait....

 

[93gilmour93]

Can't go wrong with 1 x 650,000. If he works great if not oh well.....

I can never understand this line of thinking. That's not how it works in hockey. Go back as far as you need to go and look at the Presidents trophy winners....they rarely win the cup. It's because once the playoffs start, all bets are off when it comes to hockey. NBA...not so much. But with hockey, the best team on paper rarely wins it all.

 

[BruinsBtn]

You can't lose at that price, especially when you can afford to bury him in the AHL if something better comes along.
