Buffalo's goal should be to win a cup on Dahlin's ELC

trading ROR for a draft pick should never even be sniffed

dont be dolts

Why would you take a window of 10-12 years of prime for Eichel and Dahlin and shrink it down to three years?

That should send a good message to the team. Not to mention Tkachuk is a top 5 draft pick. If you think trading ROR for a draft pick is a good idea then thank god you are not running this team.

K first off, if I was running this team bogosian, moulson and gorges wouldn't be here so moot point


And second, You want to talk about sending messages? Nothing sends a message like "everyone here became okay with losing and now i don't love the game anymore"

Yeah Im sure Eichel loved hearing that bit.

I would listen if the Blues added Jake Allen in a deal.

nobody is shrinking anything. but a superstar on an ELC is going to be the easiest point of winning a cup with a salary cap, take advantage of it.

So you wouldn’t rather take a 27 year old O’Reilly, and try and turn him into an asset that also could have a 10-12 year window of being really good or great?

I just don’t think it’s hard at all to replace what O’Reilly brings. Especially with Mittelstadt coming up.

We should be gearing up for post lockout

I mean I could prove it to you, but I doubt you’d accept the info.

He scores like a 3rd liner. You can find someone to do some heavy lifting defensively and let Mittelstadt take the O zone work.

Which is more than likely what will happen anyways

Do you like Casey Mittelstadt ? Cause you’ll love Tk or Wahlstrom. Wahlstrom can be the next Phil Kessel. Do you like Phil kessel ? I’m sure Eichel would love a player that can pot 30 on his right wing.... this draft class is stacked. Zadina is going to go 3rd or 4th and he would have been a landslide 1st overall last year.

So O’Reilly’s value is the equivalent of a superstar?

That’s asinine

We already went down this rabbithole and you kept eliminating stats of him saying they dont count until we were down to 30 primary points in wins or OTLs

spare me that anyone will score on the powerplay

The old “used car salesman” that’s chapter 4, depending on what region of the country you’re in, this is effective.

ROR scored 30 primary points in wins or overtime losses on the team that finished last in the league

"easily replaced"

He scores at EV like a below average 2nd line center. That’s a fact.

If you want to be impressed with him potting goals 5 on 4 because the opposition takes away Eichel’s shot from the left side, and gives him plenty of room on the right, be my guest.

Nah, they are all Girgensons, and O’Reilly is Bergeron.
