I see. By my count, we're down to around 15 forwards, so I guess we shouldn't expect many more cuts until players return from injury.

 

[Gabrielor]

Knew baptiste was going. Once again, didn’t make an impact. Thank goodness Tennyson is going. He was arguably the worst dman this camp.

Bailey surprises me. He generated chances, but missed on burying all of them.

Looks like Nelson is sticking around, which i am happy about.

Guhle should go down. Pilut stays if Bogo is on the IR to start the year.

Same here. He has a lot of Numminen in his game.

 

[Sabreality]

These guys hitting waivers today could still mean they stay up if they clear, if claimed it makes roster decisions pre-Tues a bit easier.

I figured he was a lock from day 1; especially with bogo always in question

 

[dotcommunism]

Yeah the guys on waivers technically don't have to be sent down, but it seems kind of silly to waive guys and risk losing them unless the actual plan is to send them down (except for Tennyson, I guess, since there's pretty much zero risk of losing him, unfortunately)

Is it safe to say that Nylander and Thompson are on the opening night roster?

Unless I miscounted, we have 15 forwards up. Sheary seems likely for Thursday. Who knows about Malone. If Malone goes on IR, we have 14 up and healthy. One more forward could conceivably go down.

I wouldn't assume that just yet

 

[Moskau]

Same here. He has a lot of Numminen in his game.

Agreed. If Numminen laced up his skates today, he and Casey Nelson would share a lot of similarities in their game.

(Nelson is bad)

 

[GellMann]

We just need to hope that the last forward to move is a 'vet.'

 

[Sabreality]

any word on Larsson injury? wonder if he could be IR'd to start also.

I think Pilut will be back in BUF sooner rather than later. Let him play top-pairing minutes in Roch for a month or two. He'll be that much better when they bring him back.

Huh I thought Bailey was actually decent.

Goes to show what I know I guess.

For the past few years Bailey has left me with “man I wish he could give more, do more, be more effective out there”.
I want him to succeed sooooo bad. He could be a great power forward with his speed and size. He just hasn’t taken the much needed “next step” in his development. And it sucks!!! In the past two years especially. Drafted in 2013 ... at 23 now, I think he kinda is what he is

I soooo hope I’m wrong and he gets it together this year.

 

[sabrebuild]

Let’s not rush to judgment. I for one will wait to see how he looks this year before thinking Bailey is just this.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Not going to miss Bailey or Baptiste. I never believed in any of BBCF and none of the 4 will ever be more then 4th liners at best.

Glad Thompson seized a spot. The kid can be something special.

[Gabrielor]

Actually happy about this. In spite of their inability to grab a job, I still feel like their chances aren't over, and the depth may be important later in the season.

Did Pilut have to clear waivers?

Did Pilut have to clear waivers?

No. He can just be assigned without waivers. He would have surely been claimed if he had too.
