Confirmed with Link: Taylor Pyatt signs in Switzerland

[Burgs]

To nobody's surprise Taylor Pyatt's NHL days are over. He signed a 1-year contract with Geneva-Servette in the Swiss elite league NLA today. In Geneva he'll join former Pen Matt D'Agostini and ex-NHL defenseman Paul Ranger.

He had the body, but that's about it. Couldn't use it properly to his advantage. Best of luck to him, been a rough couple of years for him!

 

[wej20]

Bye Blue Eyes.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

He was so pretty

 

[Shockmaster]

There goes the Penguins Cup chances!

 

[IcedCapp]

TOO CLOSE. Needed to sign on the moon.

hashtag he's bad

 

[Zero Pucks]

Neither D'Agostini or Pyatt can find NHL jobs this season? What a surprise. Great work Shero.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Oh noo! I guess no one got scammed by buying his jersey. Honest question, his jersey was for sale?

That is not a thorough and exhaustive list of players from last year's roster who will find themselves out of the NHL next season.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Good luck Pyatt. I totally didn't forget he was on the team.

I think you forgot about Kobasew. I don't know how Glass did, God knows Adams won't next season if Bylsma and Shero don't get new jobs.

 

[Giskard]

When I start reading "Confirmed with Link: Taylor Pyatt signs ..." my heart skip a beat

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Kobasew, D'Agostini and Pyatt all signed over seas.

Lmao...Thanks Ray!

 

[Jesus Vitale]

It must be nice to have Switzerland as a backup place to work and live.

"Oh man. I guess I'm not good enough for the NHL anymore. Now I have to play a game for money here..."

lucky sob.

 

[Sutter16]

Yeah he didn't do produce much here but wish him the best of luck

 

[terex]

I could have sworn I had seen Toronto fans penciling Paul Ranger into the line up as recently as the last couple days. I had no idea he went to Europe.

Not surprised that Dags, Kobasew, and Pyatt are out of the league.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Good Riddance, what a waste of a roster spot.

 

[Extra Texture]

Obviously nobody will miss Pyatt the Pen, but I really do wish the guy the best. After reading the story about him and his late-girlfriend I wish the guy nothing but the best. Even if he was basically useless for us.

Too true. What a life.

 

[Mister Hockey]

He signed as rink janitor I assume.

He was never even an ECHL player with the Pens.

Enough of the hyperbole. He sucked for the most part, but he's still a pro hockey player.

Exactly, the hate people have towards some guys is ridiculous. Do you think that Pyatt went out there and intended to be a poor hockey player? Is it his fault that Shero brought him in?

The guy's best days are clearly behind him, but he's still a human being and gave what he had here, even if it wasn't much. It doesn't make him a bad person!

I'd venture a guess that he has more money (due to hockey) than anyone that posts on here and has played more games in the best league in the world than anyone else on here has.

I wouldn't wish what happened to Pyatt on my worst enemy. I'm glad to see he's regrouped, moved on, continued his career, and met a new girl. (who is a model from Chicago!) Being set for life, moving to Switzerland with a model.....ouch the hatred must really hurt him. lol

...while we all work our day jobs for a fraction of what he's made, until we're 60-65 years old.

if anyone deserves happiness its Taylor Pyatt.

Or, someone was trying to make a funny, and HFBoards exploded with self-righteousness.

The first part was funny. The second was incorrect. I didn't explode with self righteousness, just said I'm sick of people exaggerating the truth (and not sarcastically so).

 

[WayneSid9987]

He looked great with Geno sometimes, but so did James Neal.
Best of luck to 'em.

Adam Payerl needs to make friends with Taylor Pyatt because this is his future also.
