Most likely plays with ROC next year, and is an injury call-up. But there is no reason to think he isn't at least a 3rd pairing guy, with potential to play with Power.

Unreal signing! I had written him off as a cut-your-losses situation. He's such an amazing skater, transitional defenseman. Gonna be a stud that every team wishes they would have. He'll shore up the 3rd pair sooner than later and help our GA immensely with his smart way of playing
Reading of his signing knocked my socks off.
Kudus to the Sabre Management team, this IS HUGE!
At the start of the season he will 11 weeks older than McCabe when Jake became a full time LHD for the Sabres.
While we all are intensely watching Kulich, Murry, Rosen and Rousek in Rochester,
Pilut is having a strong playoff.
After 11 games he has 3 goals, 9 points and his +9 is the best on the team.
This follows his 28 pts in 47 regular season games.
He does have a Swedish connection with Dahlin.
Defensemen take longer to develop and Power, Samuelsson, Dahlin and Jokijarju should all be better next year with one more year of experience.
