thewookie1 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I wonder if we'll offer to take Briere off of Montreal's hands while we're at it. This waive pick up isn't actually half ad, 66% faceoff winner and is gritty. Sorta an upgrade from Gaustad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'll be a little disappointed when he doesn't take jersey #54 (atomic number of Xenon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Zadorov. Boom. Can we field a team made entirely of players with cool names? This was mentioned in another thread but the Konopka thread seems like a good a place as any, be forewarned this ain't the best info source ever. Sports Insider @SportsInsider23 From my #habs source, Briere wont play another game in a montreal uniform, #sabres the front runner If true, he would basically be a first line center on this team right?

Weave Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 PK? maybe even PP? I kid, I kid....but seriously Don't kid. Konopka was a PK guy in Ottawa and did a decent job in that role.

dudacek Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 There does seem to be a lot of smoke out there around Briere to Buffalo however. I can see Lafontaine taking a flier given our lack of offence, and Danny's reputation as a good locker room guy. He's certainly not fitting in with Montreal.

I think there has been talks or questions asked but how far that process has gotten is the real question. A lot of these rumors manifest because some GM inquired and had nothing but some talks on the matter. Add in that Briere isn't working out and BAM! Media storm of speculation the subject. I bet we will know prior to the Olympics if good old DB is returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Don't kid. Konopka was a PK guy in Ottawa and did a decent job in that role. Yep. About 3 or 4 years ago he spent a season in Norfolk with the Admirals (AHL). He played on the PK, occasionaly the PP, and was definitely a fan favorite. He worked hard, and was probably close to a point a game. He's not going to score 20 in 41 games or anything, but he is capable of doing more than just fighting.

dEnnis the Menace Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Don't kid. Konopka was a PK guy in Ottawa and did a decent job in that role. it was more a kidding about the PP but I do believe he would be an upgrade to our PK.

TrueBlueGED Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share 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.) Anyone care to revisit the conversation about how close the Sabres are to being able to be replaced by an AHL team? That lineup IS an AHL team...and not a great one either :P ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lineup IS an AHL team...and not a great one either :P ;) Miller, Myers, Ehrhoff, Pysyk, Moulson, Girgensons, Ennis, and Hodgson. These guys are much too good for the AHL.

waldo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Everytime Ted sends out Scott and Konopka out he will get fined for player selection. +1 Miller, Myers, Ehrhoff, Pysyk, Moulson, Girgensons, Ennis, and Hodgson. These guys are much too good for the AHL. five of them, probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say Girgensons is much too good for the AHL...yet; it's not like he's setting the league on fire. Besides, my comment was 95% tongue in cheek :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, my comment was 95% tongue in cheek :) After his first ~20 games of getting used to the NHL, he's been good and he just keeps getting better. To my eye he's already too good for the A.
