Dreger: Evan Rodrigues wants out of Buffalo

[lauraP]

Endless motor, good stickhandling, terrible shot. Positively impacts the game on both ends in all situations. Has a creative flair that you usually only see in star players (noticeably lacking under Krueger).

He has a nice wrist shot.

If you enjoy high and wide, sure

Ever considered a career in stand up? Hilarious bud

Thanks, I have been watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to up my game. Appreciate you noticing.

Where does it say he's demanding a trade?

How else do you possibly interpret "wants out of Buffalo"? He wants a 10-day carribean vacation? He wants to move out to Orchard Park w/ the Fam?

He made his feelings known to GMJB months ago - they've been fairly publicly trying to move him to appease his request w/ zero takers... Where is the grey area here?

Why do you keep quoting out other message boards (sans linkage) in multiple threads? Just stop.

Does it bother you? Then good.

Because he was mocked off HFSabres for his laughable "inside information"

Nah, it just makes for an easy ignore.

My interpretation of "He has made his interests in a trade known" (quoted from that Dreger tweet in OP) is closer to a subtle hint than marching into the GM's office making demands. I mean don't you see a difference between "I want you to trade me, now!" and "I wouldn't mind if I was going the other way in a possible trade"?

It's not newsworthy if it's the latter, and the reality is likely somewhere in between what you think. You're wasting time overthinking.

Glad to see it’s not only the Oilers media guys that are spineless cowards and wait until guys are on the way out to sharpen the shivs

 

[Atomos2]

At first glance I read the thread title as "Even Rodrigues wants out of Buffalo" I had to do a double take.

More wonderful journalism from our lovely hack.

 

[lakai17]

Probably good to throw him back in the ahl. He couldn't make over 25+ nhl teams today I imagine, even then would be their 13th forward in the press box.

 

[seafoam]

Can he play center?

 

[Jrtu]

I read the title as “Even Rodrigues wants out of Buffalo” and thought to myself that things must be pretty bad there if even a depth player can’t stand it anymore.

 

[DJN21]

Ironically I want Erod out of Buffalo too so this is good news...

 

[Aladyyn]

That tweet has layers and layers of cluelessnes, one of Mike's best works.

I remember this particular poster going on at great length in main board threads about "whispers" he was hearing about ROR being a locker room problem after the trade went down...

I don't care where the reality lies. I was making a remark for the poster who was laughing at Rodrigues "making demands" while Dreger put it like it was something more subtle.

 

[Jumptheshark]

what is the deal with so many 3rd, 4th and fringe NHLERS all asking for trades this year?

 

[lakai17]

It would be hard to hand out a 2024 seventh rounder at this stage, he would be in the press box and request another trade to your biggest rival.

 

[I Like Eich]

I'd take him in Ottawa, maybe we do something like we did to acquire Duclair?

Pageau for 1st+Rodrigue
Tierney for 2nd+4th+Rodrigue

The 4th seems maybe unnecessary here. but I'm into the Tierney deal a lot.

JPG is a UFA, so that plus the 1st rd pick makes that a hard no

Buffalo and Edmonton media should have a "hack-off" where we see which team's media members are more clueless about what's actually going on with the team they get paid to cover

 

[covfefe]

Can you blame him? Lol.

Yeah at that pay grade, paying NY state tax to live in Buffalo...is a bit of a losing proposition
