I'm intrigued by the Pilut stuff. He had some good performances in Buffalo before getting scratched. Reminded me of the handling of Noronen, in a way.

I don't think the guys on the ice were the biggest problem, but it is interesting to look at the difference in reactions after Pilut's first goal, vs Power's/Quinn's first. Maybe Larry wants in on the vibes

It’s off topic but I really love that Power’s first goal highlight is always going to have both that awesome pass from Tage up ice and that effort from Skinner to get it to Power etched in history.

It brings back fond memories to see that top pairing D of Lawrence Pilut, and Rasmus Ristolainen!

It's good that Flyers got Risto extended.

Who was left off/non-tendered? I'll admit to being petty and lazy.

No one.

I also received my qualifying offer as the EBUG today. I got an original copy of "what it means to be a Sabre" authored in Kevyn Adams own hand, a signed Eichel jersey, and the opportunity to play Minecraft with Mittelstadt for an hour.

It's fun to watch those second two and remember how much I grew to love the guys on this team again. Can't wait to see what they do this year.

I presume that you then took your option not to play Minecraft

And of the five (VO, Murray, R2, UPL, Der Jager), both UPL & Der Jaeger lack arbitration rights.

And for me, that Dahlin touch pass to quinn is the one that is etched into my memory

Number 1 bull$hit

Just listened to the Adams interview on WGR, it sounds like Pilut is definitely back, just needs to sort out his contracts. I guess this is good news? Didn't say if he'd be on a two-way contract, but I guess he probably will?

Still need a Dman or two before the season starts.

Appert was saying how depleted Roch is of Dmen. At worst, its good news for the amerks

Unless I'm nuts, I think the only blueliner on a contract that's currently ticketed to Rochester is Laaksonen -- and he struggled mightily at the end of the season.

KA has some vet signings to do for them, for sure.
