Thread: Dubas on the hot seat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Austerity</b></div><div>Don't think that's enough money for Galchenyuk nor Haula but I like those acquisitions, as well as the idea of getting someone like Lomberg. I don't really think trading Engvall is much of an option though, given that he's a replacement level player making more than league minimum, even if he's an RFA upon contract expiration.

Ullmark contract seems fair but he may be looking for a true starter's role. We'll see.

Not really a fan of Domi, I think he gets a lot out of having good press upon his entrance to the league and during the Galchenyuk trade, but I think he gives up a lot on defense and doesn't push the needle for forechecking, penalty differential, or finishing talent.</div></div>

I can see Galchenyuk signing for around that on a multiyear deal, as he gets security and it lowers the AAV. Haula is a decent 3C option, and for a team close to the cap, it makes a ton of sense. Trading for Domi would be risky, and if he is injured for a chunk of the season, I wonder if Dubas pulls some cap shenanigans and almost uses Domi as a free TDL acquistion. Mcginn seems like he will get a contract similar to Jesper Fast did last season from the Hurricanes nonetheless. Seems like the type of player the Leafs can use in the bottom 6. Lomberg and Engvall is almost a wash. I also like Ullmark as a tandem goalie with Campbell.

Thread: Ennis from Waivers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsfanMathews</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.
