Hoping that McEneny turns out to be a decent prospect, but imo he didn't show much during the Young Guns Tourney last summer.

Sorry to be negative about an FA signing playing in the O, but he's a over-ager (albeit he lost a full year of junior A development with his leg injury) so if he wasn't one of the better players on his team it would be a disappointment.

Hopefully his play last summer was an aberration and he is as good as he has been with the Fronts/Rangers these past couple of seasons.

Another good free prospect by Gillis. Mceneny had a lot of potential but missing his draft year due to injury dropped him to last in the rankings. Had he not been injured, based on his performance, Mcneny would have likely been drafted 3rd or 4th round. Seems to play a well-rounded game, a nice depth prospect.

Here is a good article on him, a bit old though: http://www.thewhig.com/2014/09/23/mceneny-in-steele-out

" McEneny had 41 points last season, one less than Frontenacs star defenceman Roland McKeown. McEneny also was plus 14 and was the team’s most physical defenceman at times." --> Keep in mind he played 14 less games

"
Evan gives us a little more composure on the back end,” McFarland said.

“He is a top-two defenceman on any team in the league probably. He’s one of the more dynamic D in the league. Defends well, moves the puck well. His kind of experience to a young blue-line is going to be crucial for us.”

McEneny's junior career is officially over after the Frontenacs were swept by the Battalion.

Expect him to be assigned to Kalamazoo or Utica in the next few days.

Interesting to see how he does, another great "prospect signing" by Mike Gillis.

Most underrated prospect in the Canucks system IMO.

Be that may, did you see any of his play from the Young Stars Tourney this past summer?

McEneny and Jeremie Blain were literally the worst players out there. One overager (McEneny) and third year pro (Blain) getting their @$$e$ handed to them by prospects from the Flames/Oilers/Jets. They both looked a a couple of deers in the headlights. Will be interesting to see if another year in the OHL has allowed McEneny to advance his game...otherwise, he's going to be so far down the depth chart that he may be calling a town like Evansville home for the rest of his ELC.

Two years ago, that player was Biega. Recent play of his has changed the minds of many fans. Sometimes it just takes a little extra time, the right coach, or being given an opportunity for a player to succeed.

true, Biega was horrible out there, was actually really surprised when he looked good this season....

Except for Biega, it was against nhl/ahl players in the preseason.
