He had his knee surgery in early December with a six month timeline. That would mean he’d have finished his recovery by June. So, barring any setbacks, he’s probably had just about the full summer to train and should be in game shape by training camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see how he does at camp. At least he has had a full summer to train and work towards getting back into game shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another poster said that he was skating pre practice with Roussel, but 650 was talking about Roussel skating 'alone', so nothing clear there. Green at one point said that everyone was healthy, then added ( later ) that Roussel was not healthy, but did not mention McEneny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Because he could be claimed on waivers; maybe they are hoping he escapes the notice of other teams so they can send him to Utica with other teams wondering if he is damaged goods. Seeing as he may not have had much time in the off season to train he likely would not be up to speed anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 With OJ, Sautner and other Dmen passing him by on the depth chart, I wonder if he has missed his chance at becoming a NHL regular. I may be off on this but I just don;t see a future for him as a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These long term injuries he has sustained have really put a dent in his chances though. I must say; I thought he looked pretty decent in his call up near the end of the season back in 2016-17. Granted it was only for one game but I didn't think he looked out of place or overwhelmed by the pace of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sautner is NHL ready and Brisebois is looking good ( will watch him closely tonight ), but McEneny, if fully recovered, should be the best of these three. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even though his injury history concerns me, I’m still very high on McEneny. When he was a teenager, I made a rare comment (for me) and I basically guaranteed that this kid would make it as a pro. While I recognize I’m a pretty active “booster” on this forum and tend to be very optimistic about many of our prospects, I don’t generally go so far as to guarantee any of them (outside of the top picks) will make it as pros. There was just something about the way McEneny played. Hard to quantify it, but I just felt he had “pro chops” in that I could see a future player in him. I still stand by that. Not that I’m risking that much saying it at this point, because since my initial comments, he’s played around 100 pro games, including a cup of coffee in a Canucks uni. So he’s “made it” already, to an extent. But I still believe he has a legitimate NHL future. Maybe just as a depth guy, or possibly more. At this stage, for me it’s about him getting healthy and staying healthy, so that he can make the most of opportunities and hopefully progress to the next level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK he’s still waiting to be cleared to play, so unfortunately McEneny’s still not over the injury. Haven’t heard anything concrete about how close he is. I expect we’ll get details out of Utica in the coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 McEneny is a very good defenceman who can play either side; his development was exactly how you would hope. His first pro season, he excelled in the ECHL. The second, he took ten or twelve games before he cracked the lineup, within a month or so, he was killing penalties, by the end of that year he was on the second PP unit. In 2017/2018, he replaced Subban on the first unit PP in Utica - after a dozen games, he got hurt. The question for him now is, how complete will his recovery be? I really like his game, and sure hope he has a full recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They're smart if they ease him in(first month slowly). Might assist in holding onto an extra asset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to get him down to Utica, don’t know if he has to clear waivers on the way back, but I’m sure there are plenty of CDC eras who do know. Respect to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he hasn't been cleared, he might have to stick here until he can be sent down (vs just hanging around in Utica but not being cleared yet).

Good to see that he is back skating now although it will probably take him at least a couple of months to get back into condition and up to speed. Encouraging nevertheless.

Does not apply to McEneny as he was injured in the AHL and not with the Canucks at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
