I just dont know what else we could get from Philly that would be worth it to them.

Giroux, Voracek are obviously out.
Simmonds? Doubtful
Read, Laughton or Coutouriere? Maybe but how does that help Us
Gostisbehere? His values is through the roof right now, cant see Philly giving up on him.

That Leaves MDZ.

Maybe MDZ and Read?

Schenn and a D?

See this is what i meant, i really dont know what you could get back from either team that you'd want, unless they just want rid of ennis. Or you can convince a team to take a contract back and thus expect a smaller return.

There are plenty of people we'd want but none that we see as realistic.

Most likely an AHL or NHL ready within 1 or 2 years prospect and a 2-4 rounder if i had to guess.

That to me is not enough for Ennis. DOes MDZ come with that? I cant see Philly giving up a current D-man along with a Prospect D-man.

That's what i meant, nothing we'd want that's realistic. I don't really see the point in trading him for a prospect/pick though. Bad year sure but he's 26 and on a good cap hit. With so many teams stuck with overpaid glorified top 6 wingers(thinking of you callahan) you'd think they'd rather keep ennis or move him for a roster player.

wasn't he the one that that Philly took 1 or 2 picks after Risto??

They had wanted Risto reallllllllly bad?

Morin is like a 6'8 Myers clone being an offensive minded giant on the ice but softer than cat sh1t on a summer day in Arizona?

Hockey's Future has him at 6'6 and 203 lbs. While HockeyDB has him at your rating. That boy filled out 24 lbs since getting drafted that means??? or someone is lying?

Says he has a good slap shot but doesn't play physical enough. Good skater. Needs to fill out more and refine his offensive game.

Sounds like Myers to me.

Yes he did put on weight and no hes not like Myers. If you had to read hockeys future to make a judgement on him its not really worth talking about it

He probably won't score like Myers does.

Might be a fit on the left side

Something that I didn't realize...

Johnson and Ullmark rank 22nd and 25th in the NHL in GAA of any goaltenders not just starters.

They also rank 23rd and 30th in S%.

Buffalo as a whole is 17th in the NHL in GAA.

I'm pretty happy with those numbers for a career backup and a rookie in net.

Other good stats to know:

9th in FO W%

9th in PP %

Those are 2 categories that Buffalo probably hadn't been even top 15 in the past 8 years.

Very rarely does this person bring info but when it comes it's usually solid

These ain't your grandfathers Flyers anymore.

Ennis and Johnson to Philly so they have s backup when Neuvirth goes to Arizona?

The only name that was mentioned was Ennis to me.

- Stripes77


Isn't Neuvirth having a really good season? Either the return for him is high or Philly decided they like it better when their goaltending is average to sh***y.
