Sabres claim Conacher off waivers from Ottawa

[darksabre]

Their top three forwards are not very big or physical at all. Neither is their top defenseman. I love the Conachaer pick up. I think he might be a nice part of our rebuilding

 

Hossa is big, Toews is big, Shaw is big, Sharp is big, and Patrick Kane's size doesn't matter. Not sure where you're getting this from.

Bigger maybe, but not hulking forwards at all, Hossa maybe. Brad Marchant gets along fine at about the same size

But I was always told size doesn't matter .......

Conacher, I fear, might be Gerbe 2.0. He's small, hustles, but doesn't put the puck in the net enough to be a better option than a bigger player. I'd say a hockey team has room for one small guy that scores goals, maybe two if they're both really good. We already have Ennis, Conacher needs to put in 20+ or be replaced by someone 6' 200+. Ideally, replaced with someone 6' 200+ that scores 20+. :)

He's still half a foot taller than Gerbe
