And he refuses to do what the contract states. Sabres are living up to their end.

Oh, Pilut's played enough games now, eh?

Won't be Fitz; he's not waiver exempt. No, he knows he's not an NHLer anymore so it's time to play in Europe.

And that's where you're wrong.

Why? He's not good enough. That's on him.

Jost. I think he knows he's not really NHL material anymore and will probably sign to play in Europe. This is just a step in that process.

He's from St. Catherines. Is there an AHL team closer to home that actually wants him?

Yes he does. The contract will be terminated for cause (the cause being that he declined to report to Rochester as required under his contract).

I can tell, since you don't even care enough about him to spell his name right. It's Sheahan. Why? This is totally on Sheahan: He's not good enough to stay on an NHL roster. He chose not to report to Rochester. How are the Sabres responsible for either of these conditions? They're not. This is all on Sheahan.

If so, that's not on the Sabres. If Jost is a better player than Sheahan, the Sabres improved their team by claiming him. Assuming that means Sheahan is the worse player, why would the Sabres want to keep him. And if he's not good enough to stay on an NHL roster, who's fault is that? Not the Sabres' fault, that's for sure.

It's a business. He isn't good enough to play in the NHL anymore. The organization is more than willing to pay him to play in the AHL. This isn't the Sabres choice, it's his choice since he chose not to report to Rochester. It's simply a business transaction to sever ties with him which is what he wants; he likely has a contract lined up elsewhere (Europe?). I don't see why this would reflect poorly on the Sabres.

OMG Tuch, bury it!

I just started. Mixed myself a pretty strong godfather. So I'll agree: We got this!

Yep. Like I said,

Soft all around.

They're blowing icing before it even crosses the line....

Yikes.

le sigh

I have to wonder if NJ can skate that hard for three periods.

They said the Sabres have to go east and west to negate NJ pressure but really it seemed like the Sabres did best int he O zone moving low to high and back low.

How was that not offsides?

5-0 shots on goal already

Why do all our anthem singer start yodeling at the end of the Star Spangle Banner? She had the pipes to sing it straight up; what's the point of jazzing it up?
