Well this is still good news. Adding a 22 year old to a young defense core is good.

It's also just nice to know the management understands the need to improve at D and is out there hustling for talent. Even if he does not work out I like the effort

@SabresProspects
Rumored to soon be joining the #Sabres, Lawrence Pilut has been named 2017-2018 SHL Defenseman of the Year.

 

Actually he was voted the top native born SHL defenseman.  They call is the Salming award.

 

What is interesting that TBN thinks he is headed straight to Roch while Dahlin will make the big club.  While Dahlin is clearly the better talent, this kid had an incredible year in the SHL and even outscored Dahlin.  I think Jbot likely feels that this kid could make the Sabres out of camp.

Pretty sure Elias Pettersson had a near-record-setting season scoring wise...as a rookie, so he's got to be the winner.

Didn't even remember the name. The Canucks look like they might really have something there

can't see Pilut signing with us if he's headed for Rochester. There are many teams that would assure him a starting role on the big club to sign with them just as Butcher did with jersey and we did with Antipin.

Depth is depth.  Adding it is what this team needs to create, to force both play and competition and every level.  The defense in this organization in the past few seasons has been a joke.  To be blunt.  This is the draft class to go D, D, D.  Depending on BPA and what falls.

Yeah, Pilut isn't going to the A. He's on the team.

Nah.  It was more like they asked him to go to the AHL.  He countered with an acceptance of an additional $500k salary and being the first call up if Bogosian gets injured. The Sabres agreed.

 

He's a smart guy that Pilut.

Has he actually signed ?

He can't until after the Worlds. 

 

Actually, I heard that he could sign, but the signing can't be announced until after Worlds.
