STOP TAKING ENNIS

Ma hometown boy can't leave

please

Please keep him. Give Barabanov or Anderson a chance.
Ennis went pointless in four games to start the season while averaging 9:47 of ice time per contest. His underlying numbers were poor as well as the Oilers controlled just 38% of the shot attempts and 31.3% of the expected goals when Ennis was on the ice at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick.

I mean he spent a fair amount of that glued to Khaira and Chiasson, neither of which are NHL talents of late.

Tippett's got some weird lack of accountability with some of Edmonton's pricier veterans this season. Ennis absolutely needs to be better, but reality is Edmonton's entire bottom six has been trash to start the season again.

I’d would rather see what we have in Anderson/Barabanov before we claim anyone. Engvall also needs more mins. Unless Dubas trades for a more impactful forward, we have internal options

This is fair. Not fair to Ennis either if we just waive him right away for reassignment to the Taxi squad if we want Barabanov/Anderson/Engvall/Brooks to get more looks.

I think Ennis is likely better than those 4 forwards but fairness is a concern. I do think Ennis is a tangible upgrade, but likely does not push the needle.
