Confirmed with Link: Forward Zach Sill recalled from WBS

[bathroomSTAAL]

Things are about to get Sillier.

i LOVE IT.

 

[DrDangles]

The pride of Truro, NS

Pullin' for ya, Zach.

 

[DegenX]

Not really sure what the reasoning behind this is, but I'm liking it. Hopefully he impresses.

So, when are they going to trade or waive Jeffrey? Guy needs to be playing somewhere.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I assume he'll play tomorrow...but for who?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I assume he'll play tomorrow...but for who?

D'Agostini or Vitale, barring any injuries.

Sutter - No.
Glass - never
Adams - never
Bennett - he had better not, I doubt even Bylsma would do that.

D'Agostini and Vitale remain, it's probably Vitale.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I thought Dags had a pretty decent game, tonight. So it likely won't be him.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Come to think of it, wasn't Joe Morrow called up and sent back down without playing a game last year? Maybe this is just a gesture of some sort.

EDIT: Yep: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=8974

2013/02/11 Assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
2013/02/10 Recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Sill has something to offer at the NHL level IMO, even if it's something relatively small. It's worth giving him a shot for a few games.

 

[IcedCapp]

Sill is listed as a C. Do the math

 

[Randy Butternubs]

He's been my favorite WBS player for quite some time. I will be pretty mad if I miss his debut tomorrow. Going to see the Otters game in person.

I've been praising his work ethic for quite some time. Search "Sill" and I'm sure I am one of the first people you will find mentioning him. I hope he sticks.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hopefully he gets a shot. The bottom 6 definatly needs to be revamped.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Are you...so the team is calling up marginal 4th liners?

 

[WayneSid9987]

They probably want to push Glass to the 3rd line.

Glass-Sutter-Bennett/D'Ags/Kobasew
Sill-Vitale-Adams

 

[Jag68Sid87]

When exactly was Sill called up? He wasn't listed as one of the scratches for last night's game.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I don't think they really intended him to join the team in time for the game in Pittsburgh last night. He might even report to Newark first.

Time stamped: Friday, 11.22.2013 / 5:00 PM

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned forward Zach Sill to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) penguins.nhl.com

So they brought him up, he plays in one game, then they quietly send him back. At least he's playing somewhere, I guess. Wonder if they're ever going to waive D'Ags, or if he's going to stick as the 13th forward?

 

[66-30-33]

What gives? 1 game??????

 

[Jacob]

How dare they!!!

 

[66-30-33]

How dare they!!!

yAH I NOE RITE???

 

[Your Boy Troy]

He is better off getting playing-time in WBS, then sitting in the press-box with Pittsburgh.

So is Bortuzzo, but he's waiver-eligible so he'll simply continue to rot away in the press box.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Agreed. Bortuzzo is in a difficult position.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Bye, Sill.



I totally didn't think he'd already been sent back down.
