Rush17 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Looks like he might want to explore other opportunities. He skipped locker room clean-out. Will be stay or will he go now. He is a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 He’ll be a good fit on a team like Vegas or Pittsburgh...maybe Edmonton can get him somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 enstrom probably shouldn't have played like trash while he was injured. if you're hurt, then be a team player and sit out and let one of the many other depth guys take your spot. someone give tobi a taxi to the airport. hes pretty replaceable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Huge PASS before anyone suggests he might be a fit for the Canucks. 33 year old with 16, 14 and 6 points in the past 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hard no to Enstrom coming here. He is not the answer to any roster questions the canucks have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have no issue with a player being POed that he got scratched. That's how a guy (who is a competitor) should react, isn't it? Maybe more of the Jets should have played with this guy's passion (Ehlers) and they would have won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be pissed off and still be professional. Enstrom was only one of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they get to be called "hero", "warrior", etc.... but sometimes these same guys are just being selfish. If the guy that is currently scratched can play better than you, take yourself out of the lineup instead of relishing in the opportunity to tell the media how hurt you were. One thing about the Sedins... they NEVER disclosed injuries to the media. Guys like Evander Kane couldn't wait to let everyone know about which injuries they played through.

-AJ- Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 He's fallen off a cliff in recent years. The best he would provide at this point is veteran leadership and we already have a Swedish defenseman who can do that, except ours is one year younger, 5 inches taller, 35 pounds heavier, and a heckuva better player. His days are probably very numbered at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 A true mercenary! Who was it above that suggested Pittsburgh & Edmonton? Spot on, but for a series haircut on his pay. Toby is a good player, but his contract value was one of Winnipeg's mistakes. Oddly enough, Winnipeg still needs LHD help. Morrisey is not enough. I guess Kulikov is ok? But Chiarot & retread Joe Morrow (4 years ago I thought he was on his way) is a stretch for 2LD, if not 3LD? And pride sounds like it may impact Enstrom coming back for a more realistic figure. @Monty , what is your take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pride sounds like it may impact Enstrom coming back for a more realistic figure. @Monty , what is your take? Winnipegers have been waiting years for his contract to expire. Not just because he wasn’t living up to it, but he wasn’t right for the team either. He also has a “history” in Winnipeg for being salty off the ice and in the city to begin with (although that doesn’t have anything to do with his on-ice play). This story of how he left sheds light on his attitude through the years. He’ll go somewhere else and have little to no success. If he couldn’t find his game with this years version of the Jets, he won’t find it anywhere else. The Toby Enstrom from his Atlanta days is as good as dead. I honestly have nothing against Toby. Carved himself out a good career in the NHL and had a great start. Unfortunately, injuries caught up to him and he’s lost more than a step.
