Chatfield has been hurt for much of the year. He came back earlier this month, though I haven't watched many games in which he's been back (out of area). He's not a point scorer, but he's good in his own end, skates well, is good at getting the puck out of his end, and doesn't panic under pressure (and in the NHL people get on you and pressure you quicker, that can be a major breaking point which I think he'd pass). He won't be flashy, but I'd say he's the most NHL-ready of our D men at the moment.
I noticed his +/- earlier (while he was hurt), and it doesn't match with my perceptions from casually watching the team. The team was more of a tire fire at the start of the year (most of his games) compared to now, so that may have contributed. But it's probably warranted to keep an on him to see what is causing that. Until then, that's my opinion on his play.
McEneny doesn't skate well enough for the NHL. I don't remembering if it's always been this bad, so it could be something nagging him. Either way, it's prevents him from being a NHL option in my opinion.
