So we might just have one 1st next year.

(frank) darcy and the snow for starting that trend.

Wonder if Snow was fired before if JT is still there now.

No one said he was a bottom 6 he just has to improve his skating and he has to get bigger

I saw bottom 6, is he the best skater, no, but he isn’t horrid. He can skate. He can be physical and has a hell of a shot.

Because the Blues were totally going to finish out of the playoffs.

ROR is there he can destroy that locker room now.

We get two 30 year olds who are 30 point players at best IE should be 3rd liners on most teams...

Not great cap hits especially for Berglund... 4 more years at 3.85....

Thompson.. I'll admit I don't know a lot about. But from what I've read big guy who CAN'T skate. Couldn't make it with the NHL last year but was a goal scorer in college. Likely projects out to be a 3rd line RW.... So no speed, no cap relief, no immediate goal scoring, no top six replacement. How did we win this trade...?

- bluengold12



Eh, Berglund can be a 20ish goal guy. He's on the back-9 of his career, no doubt, but he's a useful player. Sobotka is not good. Thompson looks like a lotta meh. Should have gotten Kyrou or Thomas. A 2021 2nd is 3 years away, and probably 6 away from seeing the NHL. The first is nice.

I wish they could have cleared larsson or Girgensons. I hope they flip a pick this summer

We got deeper in terms of forward depth, but shallower in terms of talent.

I wish ROR the best. I really enjoyed watching him play. Throw him on the pile of players run out of Buffalo, rightly or wrongly.

It does until we acquire some and then it doesn’t.

It does when it's cheap and young and you have top line scoring to go with it...

They barely missed and traded away stastny while they were one point out for futures. They’ll be fine.

Making a trade. Which there is still the whole offseason to do.

I’m not mad now. Not at all. A little uneasy.

It will piss me off if this is the roster in September

- sbroads24


Well, we made one

Traded O’Reilly for “parts”

Hope you’re happy

Thompson doesn’t look like a scorer
Berglund & Sobatka are ok bottom6 players

That trade didn’t make us better unless the draft picks work out YEARS from now

Utter fail by Botts imo
Should’ve just kept O’Reilly

So they didnt make the playoffs. And acquired a player that has a " history of tearing locker rooms apart."

Will you shut up already.

Max Pcioretty would be a huge get.

Also what you g elite wingers are available they they can get?

- ImThatGuy


Dudes going to be 30 and we’re going to pay him 7.5-8 for 6 years 33 when we start to make the playoffs 34 when we’re a contender

You sure whine a lot

What EXACTLY are the “necessary moves” in your opinion?

- jdfitz77


Let me speak for him as he makes excellent points. Free up cap space (Not trade for two 30 year olds with a combined 150,000 under O'Reilly's cap hit for 3-4 years. Get rid of bums who have sucked the life out of this team by any means necessary. Girgensons, Bogosian, Larsson. Show some balls and sign or trade for a stud. Give up a pick for someone with term like Zucker or Nino.
