Recalled/Assigned: 12-16: Sabres Recall D Brendan Guhle from Rochester; Reassigned on 12-22

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Pilut got beat so many times in the defensive zone in the games he played it's pathetic. I saw some crazy stat on him where it listed him at 5' 11" and 180 pounds somewhere. More like 5' 6" and a buck and a half. That kid is going to get busted in half trying to play defense in todays NHL.

But this thread is about Guhle, he has played admirally in the games he has played. He has made a few mistakes obviously, but over all he looks like he belongs here. He joined the rush when appropriate, yet still fullfilled his defensive responsibilities. He has made his case for sticking with the big club until at least all these injuries are behind us, even then I think he is better than Nelson.

Trading him would be crazy.

if you swap Pilut with Guhle in this post it mostly makes sense

The one playing admirally must be Nelson.

Good. He needs more time in Rochester.

He's still got time, but the expectations due to the harder sell by PHam over the last few off-seasons probably are skewed. Let him cook, let him get the reps and improve his stick detail and positioning.

Yep. He needs the Pysyk treatment.
