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.

Just how bad was the offer Adams made him that he chose $850k x 3?

He's my guess of the next former Sabre to win a SC.  (And was prior to the signing.)

The offer was probably higher. I think he realized moving on was the best option at this point

I would not be surprised if he just finally said to himself “it’s time to see what else this game has to offer” while he still had a chance.

It’s definitely this

Sad, it needed to happen but I’ll always love Girgs 

If it needed to happen, what do you think of KA offering him a deal? Do you think it was good judgment?

Not really depending on the actual offer. Selfishly I wouldn’t of complained though because he was one of my favorite players

Pegula loves Girgs. I’m sure he had to make an offer to appease Terry but both sides knew it was time to move on.

Thanks I hate it

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.

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.

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?

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.
