Interesting.

[Weave]

Who?

[LGR4GM]

25yr old 5'11" Scott Wilson. Plays left wing. 

[darksabre]

He was traded to Detroit by Pitt in October...

 

Had 30ish points for the Pens last year

Sounds like top 6 material for this club.

[inkman]

I guess Bots had enough. Bout freakin time.

Haha. I saw 30 points and I was like, wait a minute, this great is goooood.

[Samson's Flow]

I would guess that is a prelude to more things to come. Bringing in Botterill's guys and moving out the players that don't fit what JB/PH want to do.

 

Whatever that is. :bag:

[Stoner]

OMFG he can swing an axe!

Makes league minimum, RFA next year...

[dudacek]

Moulson’s replacement I guess

And a guy I know next to nothing about

[Doohicksie]

I'm a little discouraged by JBot bringing in a former Pen.  It seems like he's making the same mistake XGMTM made in that he prefers players from his old club that he's familiar with.

 

On the other hand, is Wilson AHL fodder to backfill players about to be moved up to the Sabres?  Who's next on the waiver wire?  Larsson?

Botts following the Bills model of picking up Carolina cast offs that the GM is familiar with. Swapping deck chairs on the Titanic.

Well hopefully he's not the walking dead. Could use some of those hot farmers daughters though.

7th round pick out of U Mass by Pitt. Had some good seasons in the AHL

Wilson would need to clear waivers to make it to Rochester.  I'm guessing he's meant for the big club if a draft pick was spent on him.

I have yet to figure out why Larsson gets lopped in with Moulson, Griffith, Criscuolo, etc. He's an NHL caliber defensive/agitating forward. Perfect for the 4th line, suitable for the 3rd in the time being.

Definately seems like J-BOT is going to try to keep the Amerks together for the year and fill in the Sabres with pieces until their ready to make the jump.

He's clearly Moulsons replacement. I think more moves will happen in the next couple weeks. JBOTs apparently has seen enough.

Every GM, coach, scout prefers his own players. As a fan, you just have to hope that your team's GM likes the right players.

I haven't seen much defensive/agitating action from him this year. He's just another interchangeable part until they can upgrade. Rodriguez can do the same with more speed and offense.

[That Aud Smell]

So. The Concept of Larsson now?

 

What I thought he would be was valuable. What he is, far less so.

C'mon he'll fit right in ... in 17 games with the Wings, 0 points so far.

[Sabel79]

Interesting to note: He may well be a cap casualty for Detroit, if they're trying to make something else happen or call somebody up.  Wow is that team screwed until (possibly) next year.  Franzen's LTIR is the only thing keeping them compliant...
