Cosmic Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Looks like career journeyman Zenon Konopka has been banned for 20 games for using PED's.Can't say it's helped him much, last time he's gotten over 5 points in a season was 4 years ago and he's never held a postive +/- in his entire career.He released a statement saying that it was something over-the-counter that he didn't vet properly, not hardcore steroids or anything. The sucky thing for him is he was barely hanging on in the NHL as it was; I can't imagine teams will be rushing to sign him to a contract (he's a free agent July 1st) knowing that he'll be banned for the first quarter of the season.

The_Admiral Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Sharks already making moves. Boyle and Havlat will not be returning and they are going to move Brent Burns back to defense.Martin Havlat was a disaster for the Sharks. This might even be the end of the road for him, barring some kind of low-risk-high-reward gambit from a team like Winnipeg or Long Island. It's too bad. He was a delight to watch in Ottawa. Boyle is just plain old; that the Sharks are "announcing" the departures of both feels like an announcement that water is wet. I can't believe there are still dead-enders in this world who would have preferred keeping Havlat over getting Hossa. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 So apparently, the Pens have fired their GM Shero, it's not like he's ever done anything for the team ever right?They also apparently fired Bylsma, and Pens fans are already calling for Torts. Oh the fun we'll have next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The NHL.com story says Bylsma's still the coach. The new GM will decide his fate.

Sport Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 R.J. Umberger has requested a trade and the Jackets plan on moving him if they can.and his enormous contract will be tough to move. He's got 4.6 million for the next three years. Apparently he wasn't happy with the handful of healthy scratches he got down the stretch and to that I say stop being bad at hockey.
