Claimed off Waivers: [CGY] Flames claim F Radim Zohorna off waivers from the Penguins

[Rubi]

Also, if anyone cares, here's a Zohorna highlight:

McDavid 2.0

As a Pens fan I am not surprised he was claimed. Mildly surprised he made it to the Flames. Will be interesting where he fits in on the Flames roster.

Gotta love how we have like 6 4th liners now.

But we need a middle six winger. Zary and Pelletier didn't quite steal the spot.

Are you thinking the Flames will be able to pick up a middle 6 winger from waivers?

More worried about playing one of the 4th liners on the 3rd line.

Well now I want to see a Zohorna-Ruzicka-Klapka line

Major miscalculation by the Penguins to waive him, they thought they could sneak him through waivers. He's not anything special, he's basically Brian Boyle 2.0, but it still sucks to lose a useful guy for nothing.

You do get money in return.

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

Love it. Daryl loves his coke machines

Probably signals the end of the line for the Sonny Milano PTO

Sucks losing him but whatever.

Honestly wish we tried something like this.

Lucic - Rooney - Lewis may be a bit more effective to start the year but ugh, just no hope to be ever anything more than a checking line.

For those interested, this cost Calgary $67,500, paid to Pittsburgh and not counted against the cap.

The Czech mate line.

Bummed to lose the big guy, but happy for him that he's going to get an extended look in the NHL. I'm not sure if he will stick there or not, but he has earned the chance to find out.

 

[Pens x]

The only reason Penguins fans are upset about this is because we chose Archibald over him. Guarantee he’s on waivers for Calgary by December.

It’s shocking to see you defend Hextall’s stupidity like always.

Why wouldn’t Pens fans be annoyed that we kept turd Archibald over Z???

 

[Pens x]

Oh well...so we got rid of a guy that Sully won't play. To be fair though, we Pens fans think everybody is gold, but I don't see any of our castoffs lighting it up anywhere, so this is probably more of the same.

I’d rather stick with Z instead of pretending like Archibald doesn’t suck. It just reaffirms there was no good reason to sign Archibald on DAY ONE of free agency.

Self-inflicted wounds by Hextall.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Whelp I hate that the pens did this.

 

[Pens x]

Zohorna didn’t fit the mold of Hextall and Sullivan: undersized and over 30 years of age.

 

[RangersFan1994]

shocked he did not make it to the Rangers, he really cant be worse than Carpenter

 

[Ocoee]

Zohorna is happy right now.

 

[Reinhart]

Well now I want to see a Zohorna-Ruzicka-Klapka line

6'6" - 6'5" - 6'8"

Any other line in hockey where the 6'5" guy is the short one? haha

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

6'6" - 6'5" - 6'8"

Any other line in hockey where the 6'5" guy is the short one? haha

Kings were rolling out Kaleb Lawrence - Helenius - Andre Lee
6'7" 6'6" 6'5"

Could be a fun night in the Pacific

 

[Nanuuk]

The Czech mate line.

Except Ruzicka is Slovakian.

Zohorna has never scored more than 14 goals at any point in his career......no where in Europe and no where in NA

He has some size and can skate for a big man but his game never translated to NHL ice. He lacked the stamina to play a full shift. He did get better but it wasn't enough

Hope he can pull it together b/c he's a good guy but he is no big loss. Just much overreaction like usual from the normal complainers.

Cool. Has Archibald ever scored more than 14 goals in the NHL?

Dude is a 20 point plug. Your stamina theory was from last summer; sully had great things to say about Z this year. It’s the same old **** - sully needs his career plug in the lineup at all times.

Get ready for 60+ games of Archibald this season. You should start finding some random analytics to show he isn’t awful. Josh does great Tuesday night games played on the west coast! He’s a PK savant!

No he hasn't but he has in some of the lesser leagues. My point was Zohorna has never even in the lesser leagues. I am not saying its all about scoring goals but people wanted Zohona on the 3rd line, that was pretty much over his head

Archibald will be a 4th liner who kills penalties and brings some sandpaper to a team that needs it badly. He will be a role player. He has done it well in the past.

Your upset over a Euro player who went undrafted and his game has yet to translate well to N/A ice. Plus 90% of your post are complaints. I hope you aren't like this in real life

I dont use those analytic charts b/c many of them are flawed
