Pilut is LHD and will be with the big club

I hope it's not an Anitpin-type deal. He'd be much better off with a little time in Rochester.

You really think so? It’s a big jump even from that league, Esp for a 22 yr old.

he is pretty all o

fast
north south
up tempo
pp qp for second unit


not a defensive guy

that translates to what botts wants and reminds me of a certain red headed d man that got robbed of the calder and is now behind our bench

I listened to his coach on GR today. I couldn't be more excited. It's even better because I never allowed myself to believe it would happen. It's funny how that single event makes every other Sabres problem seem easier

I’ve been trying to convince myself he’s as good as I keep hearing..... it’s so awesome, can’t wait to see him play here. I watched most of his world jr. games he was amazing there.

I'll add a bit more hype: a lot of people in the know are saying if he were Canadian, he would be getting even more hype. We're in for a good one.

A lot of the stuff I watched, and what his coach said too, is that he has the ability to lay huge hits (which I've seen), but his focus has been more on positional play, and he hasn't tried for the big ones so much in the past year. His coach said once he's fully grown into his body, there will be even more physical play. This kid is the real deal

Everything I read about Dahlin hype is real.

Best defensive prospect in the last 20 years some say since Potvin
Lidstrom says Dahlin is better

He is like the McDavid on defence.

What team in the NHL has Eichel and Dahlin? No one.

Botts still has to improve the defense. Can't go into next year with Beaulieu, McCabe and Bogo in the top 6-7. Also our top 9 is just terrible.

Just incredible. Probably will be the second best stick handler on the sabres.

Lumping in McCabe with Bogo and Beaulieu is total nonsense.

I can't wait until next season when RJ makes the following call....

"Dahlin weaves his way with the puck over the Leafs blue line. Matthews is hacking at him from behind. Dahlin dishes over to a streaking Mittlestadt on the right hand side. Mittlestadt dangles past Reilly and feeds Eichel in the slot. Eichel with the quick one-timer. He roofs it for this third "Jack trick" of the season."

My prediction - lots of 4 - 3, and 5 - 4 games next year. And we'll be on the winning and losing side of both of them roughly equally.

this isn't right at all, there is no stumbling and messing up of names.

For as great as Rick has been, he has been slipping a lot lately. Sad to see really.

With the addition of Dahlin, I see Rick calling games for a few more years, in a decreasing number of games per year.
He continues to ease himself out.

LA - Doughty, Kopitar
Chicago - Keith, Kane
Pitt - Letang, Malkin (won’t even compare Eichel to Crosby)

We have good young players, the organization is still a poopshow.

No more justifications for current players on the team, 31st is 31st.

Clean house, no player is bigger or more valuable than the new culture implemented by management, buy in or (frank) off.

Winning cures all

Total nonsense? Counting on a guy who plays 20 games I would say you don't really follow the sabres. McCabe completely regressed and had a terrible season.

These are the guys you are counting on in your top 4/6?
