Was interested to hear that Sabres are taking calls on anyone not named Eichel and my thoughts went right to how good O'Reilly would look in a Jets sweater.

I know we have Little, but I think most would agree that we would be a far deeper team at centre if we had O'Reilly, who I feel is a considerable upgrade over Little. Would be interested to see what it would take to land him... I'm sure it would require Little going the other way, minimum.

Don't we have a thread for this sort of thing already?

They would want Trouba or Morriesy, so there is no way we can land him.

I think Reinhart would be interesting if we didn't have to give up a lot off of the roster and just sent back pick(s) and/or prospect(s) with Copp or someone.
Scandella would be okay for the right price.
Lehner hasn't been good this year and we have lots of goalies but I like him.

No way Little is going anywhere.

Little has spent years being far better than an average 2C.

Little wants to be here.

By percentage of salary cap hit, Little took a paycut from his already excellent salary.

If Little drinks and drives--there's no evidence that he does--he's not driving his prized classics into Tim Horton's like an asshole.

O'Reilly is paid too much to be a 2C.

Little's contract is far too much of a gift to try to 'upgrade' to O'Reilly's contract.

I want to see us resolve the Trouba situation, one way or the other, before we make any big moves. Can’t see it being smart cap mgt, if we add a high priced forward. We could soon have a glaring need on defense.

if little drove a car into a Tim Hortons, he would be better known in league and probably have gotten a bigger contract. Best thing he could have done for his contract was a bit of self marketing.
