Lawrence Pilut, D, Rochester Americans (Buffalo Sabres)
Joining Brännström is another HV71 alumnus in Pilut.
Buffalo management probably could have justified keeping Pilut on the NHL roster coming out of training camp, but they opted for a more conservative approach amid an organizational rebuilding project.
The Sabres landed Pilut, 22, fresh off him winning the SHL Defenceman of the Year award last season after he was 8-30-38 across 52 regular-season games. He signed a two-year contract with the Sabres, so both sides have time as he works to advance to the NHL.
Rochester has a deep blue line, but do not be surprised to see Pilut, who had 2-15-17 in his opening 12 AHL games, to make a strong push for NHL work later in the season.
Victor Olofsson, F, Rochester Americans (Buffalo Sabres)
When the Sabres brought in Jason Botterill from the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2017 to become their new general manager, AHL development success was one of their prime objectives.
Botterill had played a key role in overseeing the successful talent pipeline that the Penguins built between Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The Penguins had a knack for finding talent later in the NHL Draft or that went unsigned and converting it something productive.
Now Botterill’s job is to do the same in Western New York.
One of the holdovers from the previous management regime is Olofsson, a 2014 seventh-round pick. But it will be the job of Botterill and Rochester head coach Chris Taylor to help to convert that pick into NHL success.
Olofsson, 23, arrived from Frölunda HC, and the Sabres knew that he could score in the SHL, where he had 27 goals in 50 regular-season games last season. Now they know that he can produce offensively in the AHL as well. He put up 6-10-16 in his first 13 AHL games for what is looking like it will be a very deep Rochester team.
If Olofsson can polish his game and become a more complete player, the Sabres should have a success story.

Was at the game tonight. Guhle was a train wreck yet again, even beyond the tweet above. Felt bad for Borgen.
Olofsson struggles to get his shot off at even strength
Asplund looked really good
CJ Smith best forward on the ice. This is not a recording.
Nylander quiet.. until he isn’t. He made the last goal for the Amerks happen. Made incredible play in his own zone for the transition then won a battle down low. Going to be a frustrating player for many I suspect.
PP looks exactly like the big clubs

I cant wait for Smith to graduate.
I've always had a really good feeling about him.

I can't wait to see C.J on the Sabres. I think he's the perfect 3rd line winger for this team going forward.

Or they could call up Michael Houser. Both goalies in Cinci are putting up good numbers. I think Houser is signed to an AHL contract with the Amerks.

Very clever of the team to have players translating and pronouncing Swedish words while the picture behind them shows Copenhagen, which is in Denmark.

Utvisningsstraff is a nonsense word as well, would mean ”penalty penalty shot” pretty much. I could see how google translate would mess that up though.
Penalty is simply utvisning. Straff is penalty shot but outside of hockey it means punishment. Our loyal swedish players go along with it anyway.
