IF Ennis is in my bottom six Id rateher have him gone, im kinda over FOligno if his last name was JOnes wed have called for him gone awhile ago.

Id rather have vermette in a bottom six role than the others.... and no im not clearing ennis to get vermette im clearing ennis cause hes not a bottom 6 role guy

- hubie




Why do we have to have a "bottom 6" type set up?
I'm more in favor of having 3 scoring lines
Like Pitt last year...
And us for those 2 seasons after the lockout
We dominated bc we created matchup problems with our 3rd line
Something like
Kane-Girgensons-Ennis
Looks a lot better to me than Girgensons-Vermette-Gionta

We need 3 scoring lines. The days of a 3rd line full of checkers are disappearing. O'Reilly is our checking center
- sbroads24




Agreed
Just like Drury was our "checking line" center

Hagelin had 18 total goals in a 123 game period before he went to Pitt. He found chemistry with a few guys there. I wouldn't rule that out for Ennis. You're acting like he's an AHL'er

I'm saying he can be part of an effective 3rd line that can score & make matchup problems for other team

Ennis doesn't need to equal Kessel
But if he and Kane can score 20+ goals on the 3rd line,
That sounds pretty good to me

What's your 3rd line look like?

I knew Kaiser (walking sticks) picking you as the worse speller for our team was a great choice.

He's been in every other proposed trade, I haven't noticed a ton of support. I wouldn't mind Ennis and Girgensons on a line together, see what happens, they can't be any worse than last year

3rd line?
Bailey-Girgensons-Ennis

Maybe Moulson instead of Bailey?

Finally some slow time around work. Good to be back. Kaiser is like a brother to me a much older and wiser brother. Glad to be on the team

Gonna have to be Moulson...not tradable...and you can't justify that contract on the bench or in the AHL

You're obviously biased against Ennis
He's averaged 20.5 goals per 82games for his career
Hagelin has averaged 17.06

U act like Ennis blows
Scoring 20goals a season is no joke
