The next gift departs from the JOFA line, and it’s Ryan Ellis: The Mystery Box.

You know the box I’m talking about, right? Need a reminder?

"Russ: “Mom?” Ellen: “What?” Russ: “This box is meowing.” Clark: “Let me see it.” *Shakes up the box and the cat meows.* “She wrapped up her damn cat!”"

Good ole Ryan Ellis. Sometimes the box turns out to have a great gift inside, like the goal stopping and goal scoring variety. Other times? Well, other times, the box contains a cat…one that leads to defensive breakdowns, turnovers, and sloppy transitions.

This holiday season, we hope your mystery box contains the former and not the latter. As of late, sometimes with Ellis, you never know what you’re going to get. However, when he’s on, he’s on an elite level of NHL defensemen, so here’s a reminder of that:

A full season of avoiding injuries for Ellis should make what’s inside that mystery box something you’ve always wanted. Like another Norris Trophy finalist?
