McEneny was placed on waivers Saturday, Capfriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

McEneny was a long shot to crack the opening night roster, so this comes as no surprise. He will look to work his way up the depth chart in Utica, after his strong start last year, before having his season end abruptly due to knee surgery.

McEneny (knee) had surgery on Monday and will be out for six months.

EDGE Analysis

This is unfortunate for McEneny who'd started out 2017-18 on a high note notching seven points (two goals, five assists) for AHL Utica. The puck moving defensemen will be out the remainder of this season, but if his recovery is successful he'll shoot to play in Vancouver next year.

McEneny signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Canucks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A blueliner who went undrafted, McEneny added eight goals and 15 assists over 64 contests with AHL Utica last season, and he also made an appearance with the parent club when several members of the Canucks contracted mumps. McEneny is an organizational depth option at this juncture -- someone who's likely to shuffle about the organization's ranks in 2017-18.

McEneny was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Canadian news source CBC, as many as five Canucks may have contracted the mumps, with McEneny called up as the replacement for defenseman Troy Stecher, who does indeed have the infection. McEneny produced 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 43 games before getting the call to climb aboard the parent club's roster.
