And he is the final piece of the ROR trade:
Zadorov
Grigorenko
Compher
Greer
Morrison
Smirnov
Not a bad haul. I'd still take O'Reilly, but we won't get into that.
Sabres traded McGinn to Anaheim for a conditional 3rd, then moved that 3rd for the rights to Vesey, who didn't sign with them. So they really only have ROR to show for it. Grigs is a goner who we got nothing for, so we can remove him as well.
O'Reilly for Zadorov/Compher/Greer/Morrison/Smirnov right now. Hopefully one of Morrison or Smirnov pan out, would make the trade look pretty good. The ceilings of the first three pieces will be what makes this trade; does Zads become a reliable top 4, does Compher hold down a 3C spot, does Greer become a menacing 3rd line winger... some questions to be answered.
Overall, it was definitely a solid asset management trade and helped restock the prospect pool.
Would folks rather have Jeremy Roy or Greer/Morrison/Smirnov? That will be an interesting one to look back on.
