He's a 5'11" or 5'10" 180ish lbs LHD Alexander Nilsson @aalexnilFollowFollow @aalexnil More Good news for #Sabres as they, according to sources, has signed Lawrence Pilut. Had most points by a defenseman this season in SHL: http://buffalonews.com/2018/04/27/reports-sabres-closing-in-on-deal-with-swedish-defenseman-pilut-jacob-josefson-returns-to-sweden/ Edited April 27, 2018 by LGR4GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) No idea where this is coming from, but small 22-year-old Swedish D who put up a ton of points last year. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=170049 This spring’s Antipin. Hope he can do more than this winter’s Antipin Edited April 27, 2018 by dudacek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 No idea where this is coming from, but small 22-year-old Swedish D who put up a ###### ton of points last year. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=170049 This spring’s Antipin. Hope he can do more than this winter’s Antipin If he can communicate with the players and coaches he has a much better start than Antipin. And If he grows his hair out and kinda looks like our head coach he'll be playing no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 He's only 5'11" and 180lbs So you're saying he's probably not going to be able to throw a football in Buffalo weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 So you're saying he's probably not going to be able to throw a football in Buffalo weather? Seems unlikely. He might be able to play hockey in Buffalo weather because Sweden has snow and Buffalo has snow. Pilut lead his steam in scoring. He also had the most points by an SHL defender, he's only 22. He received the Salming trophy for best native born Swedish defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Seems unlikely. He might be able to play hockey in Buffalo weather because Sweden has snow and Buffalo has snow. And we sometimes get outdoor games! He'll be great in those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I love the signing. Create more competition and one of these days we’ll find a Butcher or Zeitsev instead of an Antipin. He probably already speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he can do more than this winter’s Antipin Hope he's given more rope than this winter's Antipin. Seems to be a good signing. If the kid has problems adjusting to the NA game, nothing really lost. If he adjusts, may have added a top 4 guy for essentially nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 He's an inch taller than Will Butcher Nicely turned. Smallish puck moving d-men are the new norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 As said earlier, more competition for jobs. He certainly seems to be aggressive on offense, similar to Antipin's highlight package from last year. Seems like such a non Swedish name though.
