Could Kolarik get a shot?
Pens have some new blood in their system with Kolarik. Based on the issues the big club is facing, and the decent AHL Season Mr. K is having, is it not worth a game or two look at the NHL level? Multiple AHL years at 20 goals does not make him a superstar, but ET is getting a look with similar numbers.....

I think he's nice AHL depth, but I doubt he'd make an impact at the NHL level unless the Pens lineup is decimated.

I wonder if the Ottawa press has ever worked in "decimate" for a Senators headline.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:I think he's nice AHL depth, but I doubt he'd make an impact at the NHL level unless the Pens lineup is decimated.

Re: Could Kolarik get a shot?
I agree DP, likely just AHL depth, but the guy he was traded for (Ben F.) played for the NY Rangers in their last game. Its a new season, and AHL "stars" are in game shape and may see a few games early on.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:I think he's nice AHL depth, but I doubt he'd make an impact at the NHL level unless the Pens lineup is decimated.

I'm missing something here. So much in fact that I actually googled Ottawa and Decimate, Canadian search results only..... didn't find anything, so what's the background on Ottawa and the word decimate?columbia wrote:I wonder if the Ottawa press has ever worked in "decimate" for a Senators headline.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:I think he's nice AHL depth, but I doubt he'd make an impact at the NHL level unless the Pens lineup is decimated.

Benn Ferriero played because the Rangers bottom 6 is... just atrocious. He got PT because they were terrible. Not because he's good or anything.Penspal wrote:I agree DP, likely just AHL depth, but the guy he was traded for (Ben F.) played for the NY Rangers in their last game.

It's more an indictment on New York's bottom 6 than it is on Ray Shero trading away an "NHL ready guy".
They would've signed Jason Arnott to play in the bottom 6 had he passed the physical. That may have been a decent signing if it were 2006.

But you touched on a good point, bottom six.... Kolarik is a goal scorer, top 6 potential.

Re: Could Kolarik get a shot?
Notice how Asham and Rupp are the only two you know ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
But in seriousness, they were sitting Stu Bickel and Brian Boyle (two vets) to get Ferriero in there
