this is going to be one of those situations where a guy just pops off 40 points because who else is gonna do it

as an example:

tyler ennis with the senators 2 years ago
Sens problem last year wasnt really scoring... finished 19th in the league and just 5 goals out of 15th. Not a powerhouse, but we did just fine - especially considering a 26th ranked PP. With development from our young player, I suspect we'll be in that 15-20 range again.... without a ton of reliance on Ennis. He should pick up some opportunity on the PP, though.

Always liked Ennis when he was with the Sabres, glad to see he's still getting a chance to play somewhere.

I had to check his age, I cant believe he's only 32. I feel like he should be in his 40's, good for him getting another shot though.

I suppose that it just feels like the Sabres havent had a good team in 25 years.
For some reason I thought he was older as well.

My thoughts exactly and he just turned 32 2 days ago.

The guy is super versatile, and dirt cheap. This is a good move for Ottawa.

For some reason it needs to be explained but Stutzle, Batherson, Norris, Pinto and Formenton weren't regulars in Ottawa in 2019-20. Tkachuk also had just turned 20 y/o in September

It's possible that Ennis puts 40 pts but he'll have to fight for ice-time with much more talent than 2 seasons ago. The Senators are not 100% finished rebuilding because they have a lot more talent outside of the NHL for now but they are much farther ahead than 2 years ago

I think; in this situation. Its Brady messing around with Ottawa.

I'd say it's more Melnyk internal politicies messing around with Tkachuk and Dorion. The GM probably offered 8 x 8, Brady's camp then asked "ok great but how much in signing bonuses" and Dorion uncomfortably answering "0$"

But frankly, Tkachuk's agent didn't need to ask, he already knew how Melnyk wants to operate, which is differently from other teams and which makes signing star players a really hard task.
