I was replying to a previous post suggesting that a top 10 pick is too much for ROR. I disagree and would do the 14th + in a heartbeat.
I guess you’re critiquing my calling him a 70 point player, so let’s call him 60+. Not sure what the relevance is to Simmonds, as ROR is a complete player who’s production has been consistent while Simmonds has declined
O'Reilly averaged 15-25 40 ES for three years
Last two seasons he's averaged 10-22 32
He's got decent Corsi on a bad team, but his E +/- has been negative every season.
ES is more important, because his PP scoring doesn't have much value to the Flyers (PP1 is full with Patrick & Couts).
He'd be the 3rd center on the Flyers at $7.5M, he'd also cost a top defensive prospect (say Sanheim) and maybe more.
And Frost might be a better player in two years, so he'd be an expensive LW.
