bottlecap Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 He's in Ron Wilson's doghouse in Toronto being benched. Now here's a guy who always shows up when he plays the Sabres, a former 40 goal scorer. I think he even said he'd like to play for Buffalo. Sure he's 35 but he might be available soon and cheap... http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=26530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMinotaur Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 he scored 40 goals once in his career, and that was a contract year. The leafs were dumb enough to sign him to a 5 year, 4 mil per contract. I'd rate that up there in dumbest contracts ever given out. No thanks, I'd rather resign kotalik, who is younger, more consistant, and has specialty skills (aka shot and shootout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Blake's also battling cancer. Not quite the profile of a player you want to sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Zero to Hero in a matter of weeks! There are many here who never considered Kotalik a "zero". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 There are many here who never considered Kotalik a "zero". Agreed. I've always been a fan of Ales. he brings a lot to the team as far as the power play and shoot outs go. bringing in someone just for the sake of their name is not the M.O. of this team. the last and worst thing they'll ever do is sign someone who scored 40 goals once in their life who also played for the islanders...we had that guy once..his name is SATAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 There are many here who never considered Kotalik a "zero". Not sure if I agree with you here. he has been skewered here by many a poster. Not to the same extent of Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Not sure if I agree with you here. he has been skewered here by many a poster. Not to the same extent of Connolly. Then let me speak for myself then. I like Kotalik and I think at his current price he is a steal. He is the anti-Connolly. If the Sabres can keep him long term I think that would be a great move. That is of course if the price is right. I wouldn't be against paying him $3 -$3.25 million for his 20+ goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
