GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I wasn't upset that we signed Pilut. I was thrilled. I have been advocating for more D depth for years. I wrote: Quote Why is this any different then signing a 22 year old recent college grad? Our organization depth on D is lacking because of our failure to draft and develop D. This move just helps bridge that gap until Jbot refills the pipeline. If he ends up making the team great. If not, not. Personally I think he makes the team this season. Beating out Nelson and Baloo shouldn’t be that hard. Edited October 11, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if he was “right to be mad.” Players sign a ton of players every offseason. If they signed him and came out and said that Pilut was the only defensive move they’d be making that’d be justification for anger, but they didn’t. Rochester needs players and plenty of Euro free agents have turned into legitimate players. Being angry for wanting an NHL player at that time would be like screaming how you need toilet paper in the cereal aisle. Relax, we’ll get there. And if we don’t be mad then.

Look at the date on the posts. May 16th. Hockey was still happening. The time for trades, signings, and the draft was still over a month away. The Sabres ended up adding about ten NHL players in the offseason when it was actually time to do so. That they actually started making roster moves in May was quite frankly a bonus. Especially adding the defenseman of the year in the SHL to the organization for nothing but money. Pi doing that would be like my sister kicking and screaming that she didn't get any Christmas presents...on October 23rd. It was so bizarre that it stuck in my memory and was easy to go find again Edited October 11, 2018 by Randall Flagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha don't feel bad! I'm a big boy, I can handle it. I'll say this... yeah, I may have been upset when they signed him, but after watching him play I'm actually pretty excited for his future. Watching him play reminds me a bit of Brian Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it still has Malone listed on the active roster, and we know he went to IR. Hunwick, also on IR, is missing from the site entirely.

Didn't we once try and start a Sabrespace version of old takes exposed? It didn't get any traction. Either people take the idea of being wrong on the internet too seriously, or it's too much work to dig up the old takes.

I just don't like to dwell in the past. I'd rather focus on the mistakes I'm going to make in the future. And seeing as the NHL is showing no signs of reverting back to those close checking, more physical games, I'm sure my take on Johan is one of them.
