Konopka to the Sens

[dash]

Sorry puck...

Senators have added a good leader, tough guy and faceoff man by signing Zenon Konopka to a 1-way, 1-year deal for $700,000

 

[puckhead]

crap. Who's left for a banger and crasher* role?


*caveat: can't get you into trouble in defensive zone

Good signing for the Sens. Him and Neil will make other teams think twice about taking shots at Spezza, Alfie or one of the younger guys.

The blogger isles24/7 will be pissed, he was convinced he was going to wear the "C" this season...

Draper for a dollar?

A 100 grand raise. Good for Z.

meh. it's been done.
also, if he's too old for the Wings that narrows the field somewhat.


Voros is a local kid. he was good for about a week, then disappeared again.
dunno. maybe one of the new signees will step up (Mancuri = 6'4, 225 lbs)

Hey puck how about Evgeny Artukhin? He's 6'5 & believe it or not can really skate. I saw him go end to end through the 5 Isles on the ice & score a goal.

The problem is he played in Russia last year. So he might already have a KHL contract.

I've liked the highlight reels I've seen of him, but don't know much else.
leery of KHL Russians, like everyone else i s'pose.

we have two needs right now:
- an upgrade for line 2. Neither Raymond nor Samuelsson really meshed w/ Kesler consistently. Is that Sturm?
- banging. crashing wingers on line 4. The last batch didn't cut it.

or Steve Pinnizotto
17 goals, 178 PIM's with hershey last year. He just looks like a 4th liner.
