Toronto Maple Leafs Sign Tyler Ennis for One Year, $650,000
The Leafs announced today that they have signed LW Tyler Ennis to a one-year contract.
Ennis is coming off a year with the Minnesota Wild, who just bought out his contract. Ennis’ cap hit is nearly $4M less than it was last season, which gives you some idea of how his production has gone. Still only 28 years old, Ennis has declined from a few good seasons with the Buffalo Sabres from 2012-15, where he produced at a 20+ goal/40+ point pace. The league is a tough place for smaller forwards who don’t score, and after a couple of injury-riddled years, Ennis produced 8G/14A/22P in 73 GP last season, hence the buyout.
