I went in there a bit ago and saw them arguing Rielly has the same value as MacKinnon. 
Good lord.
Good lord.So who is this Garth character? Is he to be trusted? The idea that Buffalo would have to add has me intrigued.

Yeah, they're bad. But as we discussed earlier today, we have some of the same disease, re: "our prospects are off the table - not for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I suspect this will continue until the trade deadline, then we'll all get some clarity.

I was wondering this too. Myers is the kind of player I could get excited about in a return for ROR. Myers+ seems too good to be true.

I'm one of the ones who want the team to do everything they can to lock O;Reilly up long term this coming summer but dear lord i'm in like you wouldn't believe for that offer.

Well in reference to what I said earlier I feel it's a bit different because we have a grand total of two decent prospects and it's not that I think they have enormous value it's that we need them more than they'd give us in a trade. And giving up O'Reilly is already a huge piece that doesn't need a big +. I guess the untouchable thing is relative if some bananas deal is out there that needs one of them to be completed but that's not what's being discussed or realistic at this point. We can't give multiple assets to get one in return right now.

Grigorenko as the + would be rather meh for me, Girgensons on the other hand, I would need to change my pants for.
As for who I think the actual + candidates are, I'd say Torry Mitchell and Brian Flynn are the frontrunners, they can both play legit 3rd line defensive minutes and they played a lot more minutes than usual last night.
I'd love it if Foligno was the sweetener over the other two, but he's injured so we'll never know if they had interest in him or not.

Hodgson and Duchene could be lethal up front but even if you put Kopitar on a line with those two it's probably the worst defensive line in the league.

Hodgson has fantastic skill. Let's not let this season destroy what he can do. He;s playing 3rd or 4th line on the worst team in the NHL while being a guy who is completely incapable of playing a bottom 6 role.
Foligno is probably the plus the Avs would want. Girgensons isn't happening, they wouldn't trade him for ROR straight up.

I didn't think he was anything special last season either. He was good on the PP, I'll give him that much.

And he absolutely deserves to play on the 3rd/4th line the way he has performed for Buffalo so far.
Would rather get nothing added on than Hodgson. Pretty bad contract right now.

He lead a very very poor team in scoring. I think he'd look great with another good hockey player beside him. His childhood friend in particular.

Lemieux + Myers would be a dream come true if we are comparing it to Bozak + Gardiner atleast.
Doubt that Buffalo would do that without an extension in place (not happening).
On Hodgson:
http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1815959
Sabres fans are discussing a buyout scenario for him (not gonna happen but still).
We haven't even had one for Holden/Guenin/Berra so far.
So he really is not someone I would want. Childhood connections be damned.

I would love Hodgson if not for his horrible contract, which will see him make 18.5 million dollars the next four years.
He's a talented player who is having his worst season playing for one of the worst teams of the decade.
If Colorado trades with Buffalo this year, I hope Stewart or Stafford come back the other way. The Avs are thin at forward (bottom 6) as it is, it'll be worse if O'Reilly is traded.
