He stinks its about time 

 

[JustOneParade]

Was that required to send him to Rochester? Or did the Sabres flat out dump him?

Required. Sabres were over the roster limit with Power, Lyubushkin and Bryson all healthy.

They chose Fitzpatrick and Clague over him.

Any team lower on D than the Sabres?

Who's gonna take a chance on him?

Yes, to send him down.

This doesn’t clear him from the roster until tomorrow, no? He’s on the roster until he gets assigned or claimed.

I guess if they had to send him down to free up roster space, they had to expose him.  It seems to me that they hope he clears and goes to Roch and they are not trying to outright release him.  I haven't seen enough to know if Fitz and Clague have been better, but certainly this board has been more complimentary of Clague of late, and Fitz does bring a physical element to the team the they need.

[Pimlach]

So Clague passed him on the depth chart.  Pilot will probably clear waivers and end up in Rochester

I don't care about Lawrence Pilut 

🙂

 

[Taro T]

Not surprising, he'd played his way off the roster.

Hope he clears.  

[Digger]

I expected Pilut to play a bit better than he has.  It has to be tough not playing though for the fringe guys.  Hope he clears and is able to help Rochester.  We don't have great depth right now at D.  Knock on wood that we stay healthy.

The Flyers might take a flyer on 'im.

They have been, especially for what the Sabres need:  Defensive defensemen.

Please, tip the help. 😉

[triumph_communes]

Easily the weakest link. Oh well. 

[Crusader1969]

Now let’s get Joker healthy and do Bryson next.

The worst part of this is we won’t ever be able to see @Doohickie’s Pilut goal meme in game day threads any longer. 😢

I know this is against the grain but I like Pilut. He had a great shot from the point the other game v Vegas. He makes good plays. He's just small and not physical. He's a rich man's Ruhwedel.

He'll be back.  And even if he isn't, you'll love my Kale Clague.

He is what he is.

An AHL puck moving Dman who can fill in a 6/7 role for a short stint in the NHL.

I don’t want to be too picky but I like my Dmen bigger than him. Maybe one guy per six of his size.

And today we'll see how other GMs value the Sabres' defensive depth of 7/8s vs. their own current lineup.

If Pilut gets picked up, we can identify one team that the Sabres are much better than.

It is nice to get healthy and have a bit of depth that other teams may want. At some point teams will be claiming Sabres waiver moves because the quality of depth players will be decent.
