July 15: Pilut has sign a one-year, $750K contract to return to the Sabres.
July 8: When Lawrence Pilut decided to leave the Buffalo Sabres and take his talents to the KHL in 2020, the team still extended him a qualifying offer to retain his exclusive rights. That appears to have paid off, as Pilut’s contract in the KHL has been terminated and the Sabres are now “very interested” in bringing him back to North America, according to Lance Lysowski of the Buffalo News.
Pilut, 26, was an undrafted free agent signing in 2018, following his offensive explosion at the SHL level. In his first season with the Sabres organization, he split time between the Sabres and Rochester Americans, making a huge impact at the AHL level with 26 points in 30 games. While his numbers haven’t been quite as good when deployed in the NHL, the 46 games he experienced were sporadic and inconsistent.
Now, after two years in the KHL, the puck-moving defenseman could be a nice addition to give the Sabres some additional depth at the position. Notably, if the Sabres wanted to bring him in and use him in Rochester, he would now have to clear waivers. That would give other teams a chance to claim him if they believed he can contribute in the NHL.
“take/took his talents to”
Must be a Gavin Lee article. Yup.
Yeah, with this incoherent blabber you should ask for your money back…oh wait…
I’m sure Gavin’s mom is as disappointed as you professor.
You’re not making a lick on sense, my guy. If you think what I wrote was incoherent, I’d definitely stay in school if I were you.
I like the phrase. Reminds me of the LeBron thing in miami. Besides, we all have our favorite phrases and when we’re writing dozens and dozens of Articles a week some of them show up more often than others. Good stuff.
Be nice to have him back
