Solidifying their forward depth, the Leafs signed winger and former Buffalo Sabre, Tyler Ennis. At only one year in length, Ennis’ deal carries with it a cap hit of $650,000, league minimum.
Yesterday, while breaking down available forward options the Leafs could target for depth, Ennis’ name was among the three mentioned.
The undersized winger has certainly endured his fair share of struggles in recent years. Struggles of which are highlighted by a combination of repeated bouts with concussions and groin issues. Finishing 2017-18 with a point total of just 22 – his highest in 4 years – Ennis appears lightyears removed from his 20-goal days in Buffalo.
