dudacek Posted Monday at 11:49 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:49 PM Girgs doing his best to match Skinner. And I just posted in another thread about the minor league call-up Tampa needed for their 12th forward. 😂 But hey, maybe this is the final break from the tank era this team needed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's my guess of the next former Sabre to win a SC. (And was prior to the signing.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he realized moving on was the best option at this point 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post msw2112 Posted Monday at 11:57 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 11:57 PM I would not be at all surprised to see him do very well in Tampa. It was probably time to move on for both sides. He's a good hockey player and better than he gets credit for on this board, but the guy needs a fresh start. I think he will outplay that contract and be a bargain for Tampa. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted Tuesday at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:21 AM Glad to see him go and get a chance elsewhere. He was a class act and a selfless warrior. Never lived up to the ability of a first round talent, but he always put in his best foot forward, no matter what! Good luck Z, you'll always be a Sabre to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska-T Chitown Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM (edited) In an alternate universe where Z had *not been a Sabre for his whole career and tainted by the drought - I could see him being a "solid" 4th liner pick up and many members of this board being meh to OK with it. He has decent numbers (not befitting of a 1st rounder, but aside from that) and I doubt his work ethic on or off the ice has ever been questioned. I real "lunch pail" "blue collar" kinda guy ... I do truly wish him the best. Edited Tuesday at 12:24 AM by ska-T Chitown to make some semblance of sense... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM He was a good soldier. Spending his entire career in what must have seemed like the 6th Army in the winter of 1942 / 43. He always gave his all and deserved better. Too bad he could not have ended up in Florida with KO. Speaking of which, any news from KO on what his plans are? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 14 overall that spent a good chunk of his career as a middle 6 player. I’d say he lived up to his selection. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
