Tyler Ennis is not who you think he is

I’ve noticed something in Leafs’ fandom this summer. No one seems upset that the Leafs signed Tyler Ennis — his contract is one-year, it’s cheap, no one ever says anything bad about him. But no one thinks he’s making the team in a meaningful way, or at all in some cases.

I did see one sarcastic comment that there will be fans who will be upset he isn’t played instead of other fourth liners, which is a phenomenon I call the Seth Griffith should pretend to be a centre fallacy.

But hold up a little. Ennis isn’t Griffith. Why exactly do so many think he is going to be sent to the AHL or be a press box extra? Why, in other words, is he joined up in so many minds with Adam Cracknell and Josh Jooris…
