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

[5 Minute Major]

now that I have thought about it

my guess is Buffalo is asking the moon and some other team told shannan that ROR was only worth a 2nd

But, even if that was true, shouldn’t common sense rear it’s head?

 

[Grandrift145]

John Shannon is the wierdest "insider". He goes from producing HNIC broadcasts to peddling rumors and trying to break news

His reports are alot of opinion and most of the news he breaks is already reported and he just adds details

 

[UnleashRasmus]

John Shannon has said many numerous idiotic statements. I will just take this with a grain of salt. Keep your pandering elsewhere Shannon.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Sounds about right. Probably a 31-45 pick.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Anyone remember Harrington tweet when he said he was untradeable? The implication being you could waive him and no one would take him. LOL

Here's how you know it's crap. We'd trade 32nd overall for O'Reilly in a heartbeat, if shoe were on the other foot.

 

[TT1]

lmao, sold!

 

[ole ole]

did he mean he 2nd overall pick, maybe?

Nobody is that stupid.

 

[crobro]

ROR getting traded straight up for Phil Kessel

Is there a better trade for two teams then this?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Colorado offers 16 OA straight up just to be extra generous

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Between this and the Babcock/Matthews thing, Shannon has lost a ton of credibility today IMO.

This would require him to have any to start with, guy is a hack.

 

[shortfuze]

Nobody is that stupid.

I don’t know about that. He was saying a 2nd round pick.

 

[Joey Moss]

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

I'm not seeing the comparison between these comments. How do you know that meeting went well?

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

30 teams would make this trade and find a way to make it work in their cap.

 

[bobbydigital]

Anisimov and the 27th pick for ROR.

 

[crowi]

This guy is dim.

 

[Horse McHindu]

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.

John Shannon, LOL.

His heart is in the right place, but on behalf of my fellow Canuck fans, someone needs to fart in this guy’s nostrils so that the pungent smell of said fart hopefully knocks some sense into him.

O’Reilly lands Buffalo a 1st, and perhaps more.

 

[Horse McHindu]

IF by any chance, that is O’Reilly’s true value (which it isn’t, but let’s give Shannon some rope here), then the Canucks should offer Sutter, Goldobin, and a 2nd. Like right NOW.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

The OP is kind of misrepresenting what John Shannon said. He never said ROR is worth ONLY a 2nd round pick.

Here's some context -

Shannon: O'Reilly trade rumors are real

"There have been reports that the Sabres could be looking for a similar return that the Philadelphia Flyers got when they traded forward Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings back in 2011. That trade saw Wayne Simmonds, Brayden Schenn, and a second round pick go from the Kings to the Flyers.

While the other assets that the Sabres may inquire about are not known, Shannon believes that a second round pick for O'Reilly is fair, partly given his high salary cap hit."



I still don't necessarily agree with what Shannon says, but it should at least be in the proper context.

 

[Celtic Note]

Maybe he means a 2nd round pick for the next decade?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Whoever gets him for that price is getting one hell of a steal, unless they take on the whole contract as to which they wouldn't have the room.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

2nd for RoR? Man we got hosed by the Avs

 

[connormcmuffin]

Boomer Shannon...

John Shannon is better than you and you're afraid of him, his words not mine.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Tanev is also worth a second round pick according to John Shannon. Oh, and apparently the Canucks rebuild ended 2 years ago

What don't you understand about this?

"It'd be difficult to sit here and say that they should get a first round pick for him because the value of a first round draft pick might be a lot higher than what Ryan O'Reilly is. One would suspect that it's a second round draft pick for me," Shannon said.

 

[TOGuy14]

A lot of people here will dismiss his claim but also troll the Matthews Babcock thread as well saying he is a knowledgeable insider
