Chronic.Canuck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Second time he's gonna miss nearly a full year of hockey with a knee injury as mentioned. Serious bummer as this last year of not being waiver eligible was a huge plus for his development and chances with the team in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Rough. Guy blows out his knee during his draft season and goes from highly ranked to slipping through undrafted. Now, just as he seemed to be breaking through as a pro, another season ending knee injury. On the positive side, his 2011 injury is what allowed us to sign him in the first place (as an undrafted free agent). Maybe this injury will be what allows us to keep him in the system (as he’ll be less likely to get claimed on waivers next year after losing this season). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Tough goings for Evan, thought at some point he might be a nice call up. Opens the door though for guys like Sautner, Brisebois and even Cederholm to get some good looks especially with Subban and Holm hurt. Our defensive depth is getting tested in the parent and farm club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancouver Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Man what a bummer I had high hopes for him this season. Thought he might get a shot with the big club at some point. Here's to hoping he recovers quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Terrible news... McEneny was my favourite player to watch on the Comets last year, was really hoping he'd have another solid season and keep pushing for a call-up to the big club. Hopefully management re-signs him and he gets in a good summer of rehab. His path to the NHL just became more of a longshot, but he's a very solid all-around player at the AHL level and won't count towards the vet limit for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His path to the NHL just became more of a longshot, but he's a very solid all-around player at the AHL level and won't count towards the vet limit for a while. Yeah, I really like McEneny, remember seeing him in his last year of junior (he was on a weak team, but he was getting 30 minutes a night) and then in the young stars in Penticton. I thought he was the best defenceman for the Canucks at the youngstars that year (and I said so), even though he only played a single game. Very mobile for a big guy, very strong, great gap control, controlled guys in the corners, and made great plays to get out of the zone - skating, long or short pass - he made good choices - his horizontal movement from lane to lane on D was superb. He got sent down to the ECHL his first pro year with Cederholm and they both were huge + players on a weak Kalamazoo squad. At first in the AHL he was very, very solid and got Green's trust then Green gave him offensive opportunities and he had good numbers. Last year he really came into his own offensively for Utica. He became the number one guy on the PP and the PK. He improved in the way that I had hoped that Subban would have. This year, with a new coach, it didn't take long for Cull to decide McEneny was his guy. Real shame. Well, his NHL career is just delayed, not over. He'll be back next year to show he belongs in the show. Benning has done well picking up this kind of guy (Chatfield, McEwan), though I believe Gillis signed McEneny. He is really a good argument for keeping D prospects around a little longer after junior and having a second tier team (ECHL) to send them to (too bad Carl Neill didn't get a shot at that). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockeye Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 A tough break. I liked what I saw during his short stint with the Canucks and pre-season. I wish him all the best and a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 big loss for the already deplete D. Hope he has a good outcome and rehab and comes back strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Tough, tough times for McEneny. Young players have to play a lot of games to develop and this could have a severe effect on his future career. Quite a mountain for this young man to climb. Sure wish him all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Terrible news. He's under a two year deal, so he'll be back next season. Hopefully the extended recovery/rest will have him be ready to compete for a Canucks spot next season. I honestly think he could snag a 7th or 8th d man spot still, despite this injury.

Looking at this video, it appears that McEneny gets nailed because he is covering up for a missed check. I can't see the number on the player that missed his check, but it looks a lot like Jordan Subban. If it is, then his defensive skills really were/ are mediocre. Welcome Nic Dowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks and Subban didn't do anything to slow the checker down, not even one bit. Looks like a floater there and let him go and covers for McEneny by switching up. Just a bit lazy play on his part. Glad that he is traded away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
