It’s gonna be hard to send down Pilut if he keeps playing like this too

Wouldn’t surprise me if we see Botts trade a defenseman or 2

Scandella &/or Beaulieu could be shipped out
McCabe might not be safe either
- jdfitz77

the lack of talent on the last 3 lines, shows up more now that we have a few decent puck moving d men

Scandella will go over McCabe
- SABRES 89

McCabe has more balls than half the defense....true grinder who is tough as nails....need him back asap

take your sabres goggles off.
- ziffles

Doesn't take goggles to read McJesus has 3 more points with 2 1/2 minutes more average ice time per game, yet 22 less shots and is plus 2 to Eichels plus 6. I won't even get into Eichel being way better defensively, tougher, and more physical...better leader too.

Neither should have been out there, where was 37 ? was wasn't he out there.
- SABRES 89

He has to step up his game. Kinda disappointing that he doesn't produce more.

some had him over guhle in august and early september though



- homiedclown

I’ll have your back here. You did say Pilut in the summer. Guhle/Nylander I think should be trade bait.

This is not fake news
- MEBSabresFAN

if we were blowing out teams during the winning streak, pretty sure it would be more upbeat

it's a one line team up front and a jumbled mess for the last 3 lines


did okposo dress?

thank you, I take back half of what I said about you

He was in high school a year and a half ago ffs lol

yaaaaaaaaa gonna need a source on that one...
- BareMetal

Homie said repeatedly during the preseason that Pilut was ahead of Guhle & the current management liked him more
He even said Pilut was in serious contention to make the roster at the start of the season

we need 1 or 2 goals a game from lines 2-4

Yep

That Matthews is no joke. He is going to be really good when he ends up in Arizona.

again thanks


I take back half of what I said about you in pissing contests

Understood. Housley came to the NHL right out of High School.

FFS... that wasn't my argument. Jesus.

I said prove that people were saying they wanted Guhle over Pilut.

on the bright side.... Risto tonight....

I have a feeling these centers are going to be like the qb's from the 83 draft

oilers got their marino
leafs got their elway
we got our kelly

maybe you should have been "lurking " over the summer then

@RK_Stimp
Lawrence Pilut played 9:48 against Auston Matthews tonight at 5v5 and went 13 shots for, 4 against. 61% Corsi on the night. Per @NatStatTrick

He can stay
- sbroads24

Very small sample size
Let’s not get carried away just yet...

But the kid does look like the real deal
I believe Pilut can play both sides as well
Nice to have that versatility

on the bright side.... Risto tonight....

expansion protection
eichel, skinner, skunk, casey
dahlin risto mccabe pilut

and ullmark


sorry nelson lovers

I believe Pilut can play both sides as well

- jdfitz77

he can, like dahlin

Jesus Christ.
- SABRES 89

Haven't seen a single fact to back your argument. So go ahead and just act exasperated and think it's amateur hour, that's what people do who have no facts. I said he has crazy skill and makes plays no one else can, that doesn't make him better everywhere else or a better player. Opinions vary.

SOBOTKA

And nah, that was just a great shot, he got his stick out there fine, Matthews just beat him.
- Wetbandit1

I’ll learn to spell his name right when he plays better

And NO,
he absolutely should’ve deflected that shot
Was slow to engage
