Player Discussion Ryan O'Reilly - all purpose discussion thread

[Icicle]

Konecny+Sanheim would fill this team’s two biggest holes in one swoop. Get it done!

Reporting Bonus is paid and ROR wont be traded


Pierre LeBrun reports, though, that teams do not believe the Sabres will trade O'Reilly if they pay his bonus today.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Who reported he won't be traded?

Pierre LeBrun sorry I added it after

With the Bozak signing I cannot see an ROR trade this year.

 

[truthbluth]

I’m thinking the Blues and Habs being out on RoR either means he’s staying, or a trade has already happened with a 3rd team.

 

[pigpen65]

If ROR stays the focus should switch to moving him to Eichels wing (which would be great) and looking to trade Reinhart for a legit 2nd line center.

That would be really stupid

 

[yahhockey]

Maybe he can "play wing" but he's still taking the 1700+ face-offs that he has the past three seasons. What happens after the draw can be up for debate.

If the Isles want to tank for Hughes, nows the time to trade for their future.

B. Nelson
K. Bellows
2019 2nd rounder.

Stupid is everything that got us to being the first team in the league to finish 31st. A lot of those mistakes being over whelming favored by the fanbase. I understand that reversing and fixing all of those bad decisions is difficult and awkward for a lot of people, but fixing mistakes is never stupid.

I hope this ends all the O’Reilly vs Eichel stuff.

Although, I bet it will just shift to the captain debate.

This isn't close for me. Sorry. If it's not 2019 1st, with Bellows that's a no go.

 

[5 Minute Major]

I think the Tavares signing has to give management second thoughts concerning the trade of ROR....if they have those thoughts to begin with.

Yep. Their conference is an arms race.

A tanking team isn’t going to trade for ROR lol

Christ

The value isn't even close

I don't believe the Tavares signing has anything to do with it. I think if the offer wasn't right for Botterill, ROR isn't moving. Botterill is playing the long game here, not the short term one. That should be abundantly obvious with the injection of youth coming in to the organization, giving them the chance to compete against one another for spots. Buffalo's going young, and it shows.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

I wonder if a team who missed on JT, or the team that lost him (NYI) possibly get desperate and pony up for ROR?

I could see the NYI wanting him to shelter Barzal for a bit.

Or San Jose, since they were all in on JT and Thornton is on his last legs.
They also have an aging core...

Maybe Philly, since they missed on Bozak.


But I am totally happy just to keep ROR, too.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

If ROR remains here when the season begins, which I’m hopeful will be the case, I hope the organization can put to bed some of the trade rumors surrounding him and the team.

 

[debaser66]

I hope this ends all the O’Reilly vs Eichel stuff.

Although, I bet it will just shift to the captain debate.

No one of the young players has earned the "C" so far.
Lets see how this season develops.
Maybe Dahlin is the better choice going forward anyways.

Aren't you waiting on Samuelsson?

 

[1972]

I honestly don’t see how you trade ROR the day your rivals add Tavares.

 

[joshjull]

 

[BloFan4Life]

If ROR is staying, Reinhart better be going for a LW. RW is fine with Okposo, Bapiste, and Pominville.
