Kind of sounds like hodgson.. average skatinf.. good shot... all offense....

Honestly what would we do witb another young center... we have plenty of centers for the future I think

Sqme thing with stoll... where would he go

You can never have enough centers,

Thing about centers is they can usually play the wing without any major issues.

Trying to move wingers to the center position isn't something that usually works out.

I would put Stoll on the 2nd line and move Ennis back to wing where he belongs

Stoll isn't really a 2nd liner anymore. Can do it in a pinch for a few games if there's an injury. He is a 3rd line center at this point of his career.

he has one nasty shot Probably the best in the ohl ( when he was there) a Dany Heatley like shot . Top 6 forward ( sniper )

good but not great skater

That and having a lot of young centres gives you the flexibility to trade at least one of them which would help you address other needs.

I like the trade as is for a few reasons.

1) We dump Stafford and his $4 million salary.
2) Stoll is signed for 2 more years at a friendly $3.25 million per
3) Bernier could be our goalie of the future and arguably is as good as Miller is now
4) Acquiring Stoll allows us to move Ennis back to the wing where I think he belongs
5) We could trade Miller for a decent return to fill in any perceived roster holes

- Pierceme69


3) No hes not arguably as good as Miller is now. Hes a backup and hasnt proved anything as a starter.

4) Ennis is a center. Hes the best puck handler on the team. He has the best vision. You put those players in the center of the ice to have the puck as much as possible. Since we moved him to center, he has proved he can play with anybody. And Stoll is nothing more than a 3rd line center. Stoll certainly solidifies our 3rd line C role until Girgensons is ready but by no means is he a top 2 center.

The key to me is that he wins 55% of his draws. Ennis only wins 42%. They moved Ennis to center because organizationally we had such lousy depth at that position. He flourished there in a short sample size. He has played fine this year for the most part but he isn't really a center.

Ennis loses 58% of his draws. I'd rather have him on the wing. He will have the same skills without the FO deficiency.

And thats fine but if Stoll is in your top 6, you have more questions than answers.

Hodgson and Grigorenko should be the top two centers going forward. Ennis should be on 25's wing.

Grigs has done nothing to warrant a top 6 spot on this roster.

He could be a few years away still.

Girgs is as well.
