Hey, another guy with local ties. I have always found Zenon's backstory compelling.

How happy would Sabres Nation have been if one or more of the Welland boys would have joined the team last summer?

I know, we had one already not so very long ago.

...is now our trash.

Sure, but it's worked out in that without a doubt those were moves worth making. Konopka in particular isn't trash imo,he's a solid enough 4th liner and could be one on a good team. I don't think D'Agostini has a place on a good team, but he's a decent top 9 option for us right now.

I realize your comment wasn't complaining or overly serious, I'm just using it as my entry point.

I haven't been a fan of D'Ags so far although I have to give him a stick tap for his GWG tonight/yesterday. I'm holding off my opinions about Konopka and Omark until I've seen more from them. Are any of them going to be a true difference maker for this team? Doubtful, but at least they're warm bodies. God knows we need those right now.

Another thing about Konopka is that he's one of the top face off guys in the league and Buffalo so far this season is 26th in face off percentage

I seem to be in the minority of people who like D'ags. I just wish he could finish. I was happy for him tonight since he finally got that 1st goal of the season, but the rest of his shots as a Sabre were nothing to write home about. He'd benefit greatly from a pairing with a talented sniper...but so would everyone else on our team.

Zenon is a marketing genius. John Scott should have had a bunny. Would have given him a soft side for when the national media was making him out to be a savage. Sure Scott has a baby daughter or too, but a bunny can take the spotlight, whereas you want your kids out of it.
