A quick look at his boxcars will reveal that Scott Sabourin is not being signed for his power play prowess. He scores about five goals a year in the AHL and has more penalty minutes than games played every season there. He’s a minor-league enforcer plain and simple, and his first (and maybe only) 35 NHL games occurred this past season for the Ottawa Senators, who were themselves a minor-league team.
