I think the Sabres want wilson to clear thru waivers.
Big help for Rochester, if he clears.

Cj is sink or swim moving forward.
Chance to prove his worth.

It doesn't look like their plan, if they waived him for purpose of contract termination. I think we're all becoming experts in that process.

According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the Buffalo Sabres have placed depth forward Scott Wilson on waivers. Wilson is currently on injured reserve.



In addition, the Nashville Predators have placed another player on unconditional waivers, this time heading towards a contract termination with goaltender Miroslav Svoboda who has spent the early part of the season in the ECHL.


I read it as Wilson is just on waivers

imagine that


sabres would rather have smith with big club, then in rochester with wilson on the big club



trust the process

But Wilson plays the game right, Wilson give it 100%, we will be better when Wilson returns... Blah, blah blah....4th liner, we have like 6 of them on our team all ready...

might have lost a step


Wilson and Elie, line up on the Blue line, first one to get behind the other net keeps his job, the other is placed on waivers


GO

threw away a 5th round pick so they could tank with dignity last season

lost a step?


guessing

I guess, must be bad for him to not want to make a million dollars to play hockey.....yet be healthy enough to play. Strange one, again.

Surprisingly a guy jbotts knows from Pittsburgh as well?

Especially over ellie.

Homie is probably right - $ thing

So much dignity.

Makes a lot more sense that way. That's a rough way to word a tweet, if that is what he meant.

Goes from strange to 'who cares' pretty fast.

The fact he’s coming off a major injury also might help him clear. Botts must thing he’s a 95% chance to clear and help Rochester win. Smith will be sent down when Eichel is activated on Friday.

Does anyone really care if Wilson does get picked up by another team?? I sure as hell don't.. take that Million and spend it elsewhere.

I think the last thing that concerns Botts right now is Scott Wilson


if he clears, he clears
if he is claimed, no big deal, one less body to not offer a contract to this summer

The fact that's he's unlikely to get claimed does say something.

I hope he is claimed...

cap savings

might as well save a little dough on the player being scratched
- homiedclown

If that's the case, then trade Moulson to AZ with a 7th for future considerations...

yeah it say's he not very good and he is getting paid too much $$$$$, oh and there was that injury thing too.....

I agree not a big deal if claimed.

I still think Botts will need another good offseason to get things really turned around.

We need to go to the Center store and pick us up one... I wish it were that easy...

Maybe Jochen is still kicking around some German beer league team

Most likely being sent down to get a few games in. If he clears, expect him to be brought back up next week.

conditioning rules for that though


not the case, as there was no need to go through waivers

13.8 Conditioning Loan. Unless a Player consents, he shall not be Loaned on a Conditioning Loan to a minor league club. Such Conditioning Loan shall not extend for more than fourteen (14) consecutive days. The Commissioner may take whatever steps he deems necessary to investigate the circumstances under which a Player is Loaned on a Conditioning Loan. If the Commissioner has reason to believe or determines that the Club has used the Conditioning Loan to evade the Re-Entry Waivers, or otherwise Circumvent any provision of this Agreement, he may take such disciplinary action against the Club, as he deems appropriate. The Player shall continue, during the period of such Conditioning Loan, to receive the same Paragraph 1 NHL Salary, and be entitled to the same benefits, that he would have received had he continued to play with the Club.

Per Hamilton

"Scott Wilson might be back next week and maybe will get some rehab games in Rochester."
