Sabres Having a Hard Time Finding Partners for O'Reilly
Ryan is a much better player when playing with more skilled players...but some are questioning his speed in a speed dominated game...

3rd overall

Is it the same Brinks Truck that delivered the Treasure Trove of Assets for Kane?

What was it again? Top 4 D, Top 6 young prospect and a high 1st?

What was it?

Oh ya

Conditional 1st and a B Prospect = Brinks Truck

How were they so bad this year? Everyone that is on the way out is worth 6 McJesus's according to you. This may help you understand.

Delusional- adjective
having false or unrealistic beliefs or opinions
Psychiatry. maintaining fixed false beliefs even when confronted with facts, usually as a result of mental illness

Your continue to amaze me. You take the internets finest art form to new levels

Couture is better than O'Reilly. So take away the 1st and Dell that you think San Jose must include in this trade. And instead, what is Buffalo adding to get Couture?

"Philly would have to trade forward Travis Konecny, D prospect Sam Morin and a goalie prospect Carter Hart to Buffalo in exchange for O’Reilly."

Are you drunk?

And that's why Detroit gets a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Thomas Tatar and the Sabres get a protected 1st for Evander Kane - he has lost every trade he has made so far so why assume anything will change

Your idea of a Brinks truck is, and always has been, extremely overrated.

Garf, I've said this in the past, and I'll repeat it again.....you are the BEST

You present these scenarios with 100% enthusiasm and confidence, despite being wildly off base with every single prediction you've ever made

Jimmy Vesey to Buffalo - done deal
Will Butcher to Buffalo - done deal
Kyle Okposo - 90 point scorer
Evander Kane - high 1st round pick + roster player + blue chip prospect

Etc, etc, etc

Never change, Garf. Never change

BEST? Never Change? How about Go Away and quit writing about the Sabres

Hysterical.

Philly would never in a million years make that trade

What about the first you were gonna get for Lehner??

Why does buff want a dman out until February with a torn acl? Garth please respond

Be on the look out for a Brinks Truck carrying a treasure trove of assets.

Why in the world would Philly do this?

In all seriousness, this might be the second worst proposal I've ever heard.
Konecky > ROR.

Second only to Garth's Provorov for Lehner proposal.

Or his Provorov for the 10th pick idea.

Drugs are bad mmkay

Stupid trade proposals aside, how is Konecny better than ROR? Is this notion based on potential because he is younger and expected to be more than a .50 ppg player, or based on how good he is now?

He's not. Don't know what that dude is talking about.

Agreed. That dude went a bit far there. Konecny is nowhere near O’Reilly

Well he did outperform ROR based on same time in NHL comparison (year 2). That being said, ROR is a better defensive player, better face off guy. I think it was more about projecting out what TK may become.

Id be more concerned at today's game speed and ROR getting older that he may very quickly be a very expensive 3C. Still a very good one but at that cap hit its a lot to suggest he is worth....

1) TK who almost doubled ROR's scoring in his second year.
2) a 6'7 Dman who is NHL ready and plays nasty
3) objectively the most decorated goalie prospect to ever come out of Canadian juniors.
