Sportsnet: John Shannon "ROR's value is a 2nd round pick"

[AustonsNostrils]

Seriously, he just said on Buffalo radio that Ryan O'Reilly is worth a 2nd round draft pick in a trade. His senile reasoning, slow foot speed which in itself is bull****, he's not fast but the guy plays on the big ice internationally A LOT and is never behind the play, and his contract is almost all bonus that gets paid out each year on July 1st. To a team in financial trouble that matters but very few NHL teams right now are in that kind of financial bind.

Man is an idiot.

It's John Shannon. What do you expect him to say. Something intelligent?

 

[Bazeek]

I don't know who John Shannon is and apparently I should keep it that way.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

You know what, The Blues are a generous franchise and will even give you 2, yes I said it, we will double the price and offer TWO 2nd rounders for ROR , you know because we are nice

 

[AustonsNostrils]

no he definitely meant ROR is worth a 2nd round pick not even a mid 1st rounder. he also said this about Auston Mathews and Mike Babcock

 

[LongWayDown37]

Alrighty then. Buffalo will be delighted to keep O'Reilly.

 

[Trapper]

2nd round pick it is. I’ll pay that.

A good GM never starts with the highest offer.
Start with a 3rd or 4th round pick for O'Reilly and then reluctantly agree to the 2nd like you're doing them a favor.

If they act now, will you waive the shipping costs?

 

[Oberyn]

Must be nice to get paid to say stupid stuff

 

[Yatzhee]

lol, the same John Shannon who was rebuffed back in Jan. by Bob McKenzie's take on ROR lol.
He stated back then the ROR contract was all but unmovable, then McKenzie a day later responded to that by pointing out, the 7.5 aav is value for a player of ROR's stature as a line 1/2 center and further pointed out that past the 18/19 season the actual salary drops to 6 mil a season and that alone is highly valued by many team financial structures.

Like I said, a Rogers Communications boy, a great deal of LOL

If I must. I was really hoping to keep my 3rd and 4th though. Don't need the 2nd

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Yes please.

 

[LeafGrief]

There would be a line around the block to pay that for ROR.

 

[TFHockey]

That's nonsense. This guy's analysis just doesn't add up.

Hell...i am feeling generous...i will give you TWO 2nd round picks!

 

[KingsHockey24]

I sense bullshit.

 

[Morgs]

Ill make it a 1st if we can add Zaitsev to the deal.

 

[93gilmour93]

But HF Boards said his value was.......
