Adding him ASAP would be great! He could play in that spot with Tanev? I haven't heard the rumours, but I hope it's not true. He should at least finish the year with his college team, whether they end their season early or not. You want a guy that will want to finish things out rather than jump ship on the team. As excited as I am to see Hughes, I hope he finishes out the season the best he can and hopefully with some college accolades. There's also the whole small possibility that he doesn't turn pro this season so we don't have to protect him in the expansion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Vancouver signing Quinn after season is over in March..I think if Hughes plays under 9 games this season he would not have to be protected in expansion draft in Seattle?? Trying to find out if this is correct?? Maybe someone on site knows this rule?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QH turns 20, meaning that 1 professional game starts the 'years played' clock. AM 650 was spouting the 9 game free pass idea yesterday, but I believe that they are wrong !

If we need to protect him in the expansion then so be it, but at least he finished out the year with his team that he committed to for the year.

While McEneny is skating better than he was in October there is no way that he could handle the pace of the NHL right now. He is still a long way from where he was before he lost most of last season from knee injury and surgery. The Comets are a league worse -22 goal differential and the defense is a mess. Take the +- stat for what it's worth but Evan is a team worse -17 and has not played well at all in the defensive zone of late. Sadly the only dmen that are playing well right now are AHL contracted Blujus and Sifers neither of which have any NHL upside. I know this isn't what anyone wants to hear but it is the state of the Comets defense right now. @UticaHockey; you posted this a month ago about Evan McEneny. Have you seen any improvement in his game during that time? Is there progress in his overall game and skating, as he seemed to be on the cusp of making the NHL last year before his injury. I am hoping they at least extend him one more year if nothing else and see if a full summer of off season training can bring him back up to the level he needs to be at in order to vie for a spot on the Canucks next fall Edited January 12, 2019 by Kootenay Gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster skaters are still taking advantage of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 McEneny’s game has been coming on, +6 over his last seven games - 1g 3a, over that same period. Takes time to come back after such a serious injury. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 McEneny 1g 2a tonite, giving him 2g 7a 9 pts +9 in his last 9 games. I’d say he has his game back. Anyone know if he can be brought up at some time this year without risk of loss through on waivers? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to see him this year and see if he can be a more consistent defensemen then guys like POuliot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Is it just me or is McEneny being underrated? I'm still baffled at how people suggest bringing up Brisebois or Sautner instead of McEneny. Does McEneny have bad defense or something? His offensive numbers far and away outstrip Sautner and Brisebois and it's not like age is a huge factor either. He's the same age as Sautner (24 years old) and admittedly three years older than Brisebois (21 years old). McEneny's having the best year of his career and is a big physical body at 6'3" and 221lbs. How can we not give this kid a chance? A comparison of their offensive numbers: McEneny is currently on pace for 12 goals, 28 assists, and 40 points in a full 76-game season. I say we give him a shot at some point this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure what rubs JB the wrong way. His plus/ minus is pretty poor, but I believe he has been the victim of most of the Comets EN goals against. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I think it' because he's still coming off of a major surgery. He looks fine now, but there' no harm in giving him some time still and not force anything. Besides, the other defenders have earned their chance too and McEneny has played NHL games before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
