Ridiculous asking price. That's why he's still a Sabre. The rumored package they wanted from Philly was absurd.

A top six scoring forward, a top prospect and a 1st round pick? Who in their right mind would pay that for RoR?

You guys and your expected returns are rediculous.

The only way I see ROR staying on the Sabres roster is if Botterill and Housley put the "C" on Eichel. How many reports where there last year of a rift between Eichel and O'Reilly ( over who's team this is ).

It's a pissing contest. One O'Reilly will lose every time. If he can't accept that this is Jack's team then get that cancer out of the locker room.

I think so. He's seem to have matured rapidly over the past couple of years.

did they ever say what young forward they wanted with sanheim and the 1st?

you have to give to get. you cant acquire good players for slop and sprare parts. Until i know what forward they wanted, cant say it was absurd just yet imo.

I have said before and I will say it again, Not many (as in count on one hand) does what Ryan O'Reilly does on the ice. He wins face-offs at a Hall of Fame pace, He creates as many turn overs as anybody in the game, He averages on par 60 points per season and the one thing he does that again not many players in the league do is, He is available for just about every shift he is supposed to take. He took 1 minor penalty this year, that doesn't make him a soft player, that makes him an extremely smart one. He should have won the Lady Bing, but the league decided to give one more gift to Vegas, good for Karlsson, but really? If teams that think he is the piece of the puzzle to win the cup, then yes, they should be paying a premium price, They shouldn't be getting him on the cheap.
Garth, Larsson is not a dominant Center in any universe, so you can just stop that nonsense.

No I have way better lines than that...do you guys really think you of all fan bases deserve my A game?
I save that for the elite teams, like the Leafs, not you bottom feeders.

So RoR is an above average 2nd line Center being paid like a top line Center with rumoured attitude and leadership problems? If he was as great and valuable as you guys claim you would absolutely not be selling him.

I have thoughts on why O’Reilly wasn’t traded before midnight on July 1

Could it be the 7M bonus due?
The fact that like Kane, GMJB over valued this asset?
what team wants a 7.5M player who lost his way last year?

He’s just a bit flakey, that’s all, nothing to worry about.

This coming from a Edmonton fan. Calling a team that hasn't won a playoff series since 2004...... Elite.


Yes, the Sabres are going to be a bottom feeding team FOREVER. They're not picking up ANY high end talent.

"The Real Deal" is a Whiby, Ontario native, which is close to Buffalo.


And my bathroom is close to my kitchen. Doesn't mean I'm going to prepare a stew in the toilet.

Ummm ...when your team gets out of the cellar and into a position of which they deserve my respect, they will get it. Right now they are wholly unworthy.

The Leafs haven't won a playoff series since 2004. They haven't been in the finals since their was six teams in the league. They get no respect from me. They are one of the worse run franchises in the history of sports. ALLLLLLLLLL the money in the world and you always stink. So you won a lottery and got a great player. YOU STILL haven't won a thing. Here in Buffalo the Leafs will always be our little b**ch. Here is our all time record vs the Leafs. 115-69-26. We beat you in the 1999 semis. An elite team...... Don't let the facts get in the way.

Doesn't HonkyTonkMan's sig say he is an Edmonton fan? so I don't know what Toronto has to do with it. That being said, Edmonton acquired the "Greatest player in the game today" made it to the Conference Finals and then returned to the typical Edmonton ways, which is likely where they will stay for the for the distant future, Having his or her respect doesn't mean a damn thing to us here in Buffalo.

So your saying the Sabres are a better team than the Leafs? Because all I’m saying is the opposite, nincompoop.

Nor should it...but it seemed to have ruffled some of your bretherens feathers. You wanna make a season point total Avi bet on who is the superior team between Edmonton and Buffalo?
