Forward Patrik Berglund has been suspended indefinitely by the organization due to failure to report

[Ciao]

It's some coincidence that losing follows O'Reilly around.

 

[Clayonator]

I feel as though this could be a mental health issue. Hope all ends up well with him.

 

[Yatzhee]

Nope, I did not. Your post was terrible and you don’t even seem to know what you’re writing.

Lol ok.
You win.

No. He's a gentleman and a scholar.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Berglund for Eriksson.

Do it.

 

[Jacob]

Could this be one of those situations where Berglund feels he’s not healthy enough to play and the team feels otherwise?

 

[Cuphead]

Since we're doing the tit for tat thing: if it comes out that he's just a ******** will you come back and hold your hands up?

hands up for what? giving him the benefit of the doubt?

doubt you'll find too many people willing to support a prima donna 4th liner making nearly $4M. hes not a superstar. (if that is the case)

Avs won the central while O'Reilly was on the team

 

[Irving Zisman]

It’s one of the dumbest theories I have ever heard as well. The return for O’Reilly was trash and has been trash, Berglund being the only guy that was above replacement level.

It wasn’t addition by subtraction. It was subtraction with about 6 completely unrelated additions that more than made up the difference.

What changed the trajectory of the team was a putrid defense getting the best 18 year old d man in 50 years. And the miraculous health of Bogosian. And the complete flip of terrible goaltending for above average.

No reason to hate talk Blues fans because of weird alternative fact narratives in your head.

'Hate blues fans.' Cool strawman.

2 things can be true at the same time. All of the factors you've mentioned certainly helped, but it's so painfully obvious that moving ROR and swapping a guy like Hutton out for a troubled Lehner made an enormous impact in that room.

Aren't you a CHS or SJCI grad? I'd expect better critical thinking from you!

Yes, I did notice that he made the playoffs twice in nine years, including his rookie season. Quite the accomplished player.

 

[dasaybz]

What does that have to do with anything? All the owner has to do is cut out a check. If money isn't an issue, pay the guy then trade him right after that to get much more in return

Pretty simply he didn't want to cut that specific guy a check. Why should he if he didn't want to?

He has been a big factor playing for Canada

to get a better return to help his organization lol

 

[Captain Holt]

Jeez WFC about O’Reilly??? He’s gone, the Blues suck, the Sabres don’t and Eichel is a man possessed this year with the C.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I keep coming back to see if there is an update about Berglund, but its this shit about OReilly. Please, Sabres and Blues fans, no more O’Reilly mentions on this thread. For crying out loud! That argument is worse than sitting at a junior high lunch table!

It's not even an argument. It's two sides with their heels dug in just refusing to listen to the other side's points. Why anyone would be interested in this is have no idea.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to read the Marner vs Draisaitl poll.

Good thing you didn't visit the Sabres board this past summer. It was like this, except every single thread. Thankfully it's subsided now since we have something else to talk about and all ROR talk has been redirected to a single thread.

But anyway, I too eagerly await any further clarification about what's going on with Berglund.

 

[TimPeel]

I hope the Sabres terminate his contract. Guaranteed contracts are a bane to the NHL.

ROR has nothing to do with this discussion, with that said, It's like he rammed a '51 Chevy into this thread... (sorry)

 

[SabresSharks]

Filthy rich guy says "I'm not paying that asshole another penny. Get him off my team before his bonus comes due, or I'll find someone who will."

Like @sabrebuild has been telling you, it's personal. It doesn't have to make sense.

This is pure speculation on our part, of course, but no other scenario explains what all but the most unrealistic Sabres fan admits is an awful trade, by a young GM who has been stellar otherwise.

 

[Quiet Jack]

interesting. if that's the true reason for him not showing up, there's nothing he can do though if the sabres try to terminate his deal

I'm pretty certain he would be okay with that.

Oh my god.

Can I be your financial advisor?

 

[Cor]

He doesn’t want to be in Buffalo. He’s clearly hoping he forces his way out of there one way or another or else he’d just request a trade.

His contract being terminated is a massive possibility here. He and his agent know that.

You think he'd be OK with giving up millions of dollars?

 

[SabresSharks]

If he just wants to move back to Sweden, to finish his career there, regardless of salary, sure.

It would be very interesting if either the team or the player could terminate their contracts at any time. Then the team could shop around for a better player, and the player could shop around for a better team!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
