Two restricted free agents are going to have Tim Murray’s attention this summer. The Buffalo Sabres general manager said that he’s talked with Tyler Ennis (http://sabres.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8474589)’ agent and has had discussions this week with Marcus Foligno (http://sabres.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8475220)’s agent as well.
Ennis, in his fourth full NHL season, scored a career-high 21 goals in 2013-14 and he became more confident as the season wore on.
On Thursday, Murray shot down the notion that the term and value of Ennis' new contract will be tied to the necessity of reaching the salary cap floor.
“I like his approach to the game. I like his compete level. I like his speed,” Murray said of Ennis. “There’s a lot of things I like about him and if we can do a long-term deal with him then obviously the decision we’ve made is we’d go forward with him.”
