Gilbert was put on waivers by Buffalo on Friday.
Gilbert had 13 assists and 33 PIM in 37 regular-season AHL outings between Lehigh Valley and Belleville in 2025-26. He also recorded an assist in eight regular-season appearances with Ottawa last campaign. Gilbert shifted to Buffalo's organization by inking a one-year, $850,000 contract over the summer. Despite getting a one-way deal, it seems he probably won't be part of the Sabres' Opening Night roster.
