Weave Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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. :(
Two or less Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 This season with the Wild, he played 36 games and has 1g, 1a and 55 PIM. For his career, he has 1049 PIM. He's also a pretty solid faceoff guy.
inkman Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Can't hurt. #embracingcoldhardsteelofsabrestank

wjag Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Sad that all they can add to the dregs of the NHL is the dregs of the NHL.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 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.
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 CLAIM ALL OF THE VETS ON WAIVERS
Campy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Sad that all they can add to the dregs of the NHL is the dregs of the NHL. I know, right? Why did they even bother? It's not like the Pens won't waive Malkin or Crosby soon.

wjag Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 I know, right? Why did they even bother? It's not like the Pens won't waive Malkin or Crosby soon. so you see this as an upgrade?
dudacek Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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.)
LGR4GM Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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?
Campy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 so you see this as an upgrade? Over Phil Varrone? Yes.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Posted January 3, 2014 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.) 41 down, 41 to go. I can almost start to picture Sam Reinhart in a Sabres uniform.
LTS Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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?
Peppy22 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 Everytime Ted sends out Scott and Konopka out he will get fined for player selection.

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
Campy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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...
MDFan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 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.) You may get your wish after the trade deadline.
