Confirmed with Link: [TOR/COL] Ryan O'Byrne for 2014 4th Round Pick

[Joey Hoser]

O'Byrne?
Phaneuf, Gardiner, Liles, Franson, Gunnar, Fraser > O'Byrne

Yeah, but if one of them goes down... Holzer?

 

[NewFang]

For a 4th round pick? I'm alright with that.

Wonder if another trade is in the pipeline. Lots of defensemen on the active roster.

Ever hear of the trade deadline?

 

[ungentrified]

Hahaha we got the purse snatcher.

 

[pspot]

Liles partner in Col

makes sense

 

[Rude Dog]

Not a fan at all. Not better then anything we already have.

 

[janesy12]

O'Byrne?
Phaneuf, Gardiner, Liles, Franson, Gunnar, Fraser > O'Byrne

"depth move" just keep those two words in your head.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with depth. There is however if Gardiner sits in the press-box because of it.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Wow, hate this trade, mainly because O'Byrne is brutal. He's basically Holzer. And a 4th isn't expensive, but would much prefer it over this useless giant plug.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

I am hoping we don't play him unless our regular D-men get injured. This guy doesn't have any positive reviews whatsoever.

 

[Schenn]

Who would you rather have for a pick? Redden or O'Byrne

 

[Maple Leaf]

Who would you rather have for a pick? Redden or O'Byrne

I want Gardiner

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

****, Redden would've been a better pickup for us.

 

[The Reaper]

O'Bryne can thrive under Carlyle

 

[LeafShark]

wish it was a bigger name, but still better than Kostka/Holzer.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Who would you rather have for a pick? Redden or O'Byrne

The pick. This guy is ****ing brutal.

 

[Commander Clueless]

O'Byrne eh?

Huh.

Don't really think he's a top 4 guy, or really an upgrade on Kostka but I don't know much about him.

Seems like a Fraser type.

Might be okay for depth but not really what I was hoping for.

 

[SteveV*]

Carlyle is going to ruin Gardiner. Stupid move, another big dummy.

 

[Once]

The guy can play 18 minutes you're going to see him paired with Liles at first and then Phaneuf. Wait and see.

 

[Muston Atthews]

The defenseman who has been on the ice for the most goals against in the National Hockey League this year, playing on the dead last place team in the league as well.

He's a great guy, real character person and every teammate will love him. Blocks shots like a human meat shield, but is slow, drops his stick all the time, doesn't play the body, and cannot complete a 5 foot pass. Nice dude, though. Wish him all the best.

You just counter argued your main argument lol. We play a system where he can thrive in that all of our defensemen are expected to block shots. He'll probably play with one of Liles or Gardiner so that they are free to wheel and make that "five foot pass"

O'Bryne was Liles main defense partner in this last season in Colorado:

[weems]

who cares, that was like 3 or 4 years ago.

Well he hasnt got any better since.

Dude is a pylon.

 

[Future]

Wow. I guess we're doing anything possible to not play Jake Gardiner. As if we didnt have enough bottom pairing scrubs.

 

[Kessick]

Some of you are getting way too worked up over our 6-7th defenseman. You guys must be huge Kostka/Holzer fans.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Lol he's so bad . Don't understand why we did this

Liles and O'Byrne were a pairing for Colorado in 2010-11 and played pretty well together. Believe O'Byrne has struggled since then.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Meh

A little more depth.
