Sabres claim Zenon Konopka


Two or less

McCormick (when healthy), Scott, and Konopka would make a helluva rough 4th line.

 

I was pining for Buffalo to pick up Konopka a couple seasons ago. He's a decent faceoff guy. Good 4th liner.

 

As if we don't have enough of those. :(

Sad that all they can add to the dregs of the NHL is the dregs of the NHL.

 

Not really. It's a smart and quick fix to filling the roster spot. He's a Ted Nolan type player. The only other option would of been calling up someone from Rochester, and there isn't anybody there who is ready. No point for a rebuilding team to call up someone who isn't ready yet. Amerks have their own issues with injuries right now too.

I know, right? Why did they even bother?

 

It's not like the Pens won't waive Malkin or Crosby soon.

I'm starting to think that every plug in the league is a "Ted Nolan type player."

 

At least they're fully embracing the tank.

so you see this as an upgrade?

Well that was pretty much ordained.

Can't wait until we get healthy enough to ice:

 

D'Agostini Ellis Omark

Flynn Porter Stafford

McCormick Konopka Scott

 

(Leino still not quite good enough to crack the top nine.)

How many NHL goals and games do they have combined if you remove stafford?

41 down, 41 to go. I can almost start to picture Sam Reinhart in a Sabres uniform.

But he wins faceoffs!

 

I wonder if John Scott could win faceoffs simply by shoving the other player out of the way?

 

Oh well.. that's my contribution to the thread. Actually it's not..

 

Konopka is a decent player who does win faceoffs.. just in case Buffalo actually needs that.

 

I guess I missed something but why isn't Armia an option? injuries in Rochester?

PK? maybe even PP?

 

I kid, I kid....but seriously

Everytime Ted sends out Scott and Konopka out he will get fined for player selection.

 

So when's the next Sabres/B's game? It could get interesting...

You may get your wish after the trade deadline.
