Casey is going to be a good player but to think he's ready to be number 2 center is just absurd.
- SABRES 89

True statement.

The Rangers will be all over Panarin if they move him, they have the parts and pieces. We can't match that.
- SABRES 89

Unless CBJ wanted ROR + then that’s the only way.

He doesn’t get along with Jack, wants the C and wants to play Center

That's the rumor anyway...

Though I feel like based on previous rumors prior to him arriving in Buffalo, they may not be that far off.

If the rumors are true, it seems he has trouble with coping with the fact that he's not "the guy" on a team. Does he have a skill set that's useful? Absolutely. But he needs to realize if he's the best player on a team, that team isn't going to be very good. He should step back and let the high level guys be top dog. There's nothing wrong with that.

If Guhle was perceived of higher value than McCabe, I'd trade him in a heartbeat if we were able to bring back a top tier 1LW like Panarin.

He has more value than McCabe. I can see McCabe getting dealt not a slick skating, nice hands, young D like Guhle.

Unless CBJ wanted ROR + then that’s the only way.
- Pegullaville

They are sitting with DuBois and Wennberg as their 1C and 2C. Foligno as 3C.

REALLY young but I could see them wanting a C like ROR.

Unless CBJ wanted ROR + then that’s the only way.
- Pegullaville

I agree with that, Guhle also I would move, maybe it can work.

True statement.

That's putting a lot on the kid, we don't need that for him now.

From today's Q&A on The Athletic, Craig Custance weighs in on O'Reilly:
Custance on Reilly's Value

Q: What do you anticipate the return would be in a potential Ryan O’Reilly trade? I can’t imagine it is close to what Colorado got for him.

CC: First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new Buffalo subscribers into the fold. So excited we finally launched in that market and the response from you guys has been incredible. So welcome, Sabres fans. I also think Jason Botterill can get a nice return for O'Reilly that isn't far off from the original price Buffalo paid. It's hard to find centers and O'Reilly is really respected around the league. Yeah, his pricetag is high but just look at the free agent list and you'll see it's slim pickings down the middle. The Sabres don't HAVE to deal him so they can be patient here.

Yup... I like the idea of putting him on the wing a little bit.. then letting him take some draws... then eat more minutes eventually.

- SABRES 89

Uhhuh, yep

If we could just slot ROR to our LW like he does for Canada it will make our long term projections and trade needs.

He has more value than McCabe. I can see McCabe getting dealt not a slick skating, nice hands, young D like Guhle.

Agreed. Guhle is almost on my untouchable list, which is just Jack + #1.

Guhle is far from untouchable.

The only trade that should be made for ROR is one that gets us a player of equal or greater value at a position of need, even if we have to add.

Schwartz
Hamilton
Panarin

Next person to say 2 seconds and two prospects named Vivek Gabor and Johan Grossman that I just made up is getting a slap

If it took ROR, Baliey or Baptiste plus Guhle or another D man to get Panarin, I would do it. Add a pick or 2 if needed. Not specifically those forwards, just an example.

Guhle is far from untouchable.

Feel free to keep your own list. I have no sources, I just like what I see.

Now that we are getting Dahlin, the other Swede D I am having a brain fart on remembering his name, the other young D's in the pipeline, mostly from college, I can see him included in a deal/package that gets them a top winger but it has to be a difference maker.

don't forget, he'd still need to be signed to a contract extension
