He had the second most fighting majors this past season and lead the league in PIMs by a mile. I'm not sure if free agency is even the way to go with this one. Majority of the best pests in the league have been drafted by their teams and brought up through the ranks. I think that's important because it earns them the respect of their teammates and that's something they need for the style of game they play.sportsguy83https://www.blogger.com/profile/16283316052007416821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100996103349018160.post-57472720043346816042011-06-13T01:51:04.298-06:002011-06-13T01:51:04.298-06:00nope, he's a centerman.

I think its more effective when a forward fills that role since defencemen cant come into a scrum without risking the faceoff coming back outside of the offensive zone.Turnkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217642542882788456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100996103349018160.post-18170781768732542682011-06-13T00:43:09.644-06:002011-06-13T00:43:09.644-06:00Zenon Konopka the answer?Zenon Konopka the answer?Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912751654517748661noreply@blogger.com
