Profile: Two playoffs ago, Tyler Ennis was the offensive spark plug that Buffalo felt it long needed. He was the breath of fresh air. He bobbed and weaved around Boston, playing himself into the NHL seemingly in the matter of one week. This past season, Tyler Ennis had his fair share of struggles but also his fair share of triumphs. Ennis was a much needed scoring presence for the team and thick in the hunt for Rookie of the Year. His tendency to hold on to the puck too long and skate himself into a hole on occasion brought Sabres fans memories (or nightmares) of Max Afinogenov, but Ennis also seems to have a more refined scoring touch than Max. Going forward, Ennis will be a main cog in the Sabres scoring machine though he could be possible trade bait if the right deal comes along. He isn't a player who is not expendable. His peak seems high, but he is prone to bad decisions and does not fit the Sabres new m.o. of drafting large, physically dominating players.
Fake Darcy’s Take: What’s not to love about Ennis? Another first round gem, if I do say so myself. Any winger who got production on our team this past season, such as Ennis’ 20 goals, gets extra credit in my book because of the way injuries ravaged our centers this year. That’s right injuries, not planning, was the problem with our centers. I advised him to wait another year before he gets rid of that ridiculous #63 and move to a real hockey number. Old (gouging) habits die hard for me.
