Usually when teams have players like ROR or Risto you try and build around them, we trade them.

I don't think well ever see ROR put up 75, it's not impossible but I just don't see it.

I'd try my best to fleece Benning in the Canucks. He'd be a good fit there.

Well, I said 65-70, but anyways..

Van would be a great place for him. Provides.. err.. leadership now that the Sedin's are gone. They will be looking for a center to go along with Horvat. Wonder what the Sabres ask for here. Wonder if they give up their non-1st overall 2018 1st for him straight up. Not sure if we could get more than that. I'd want a roster player too, but not sure if that's too much to ask for in this trade scenario.

Put ROR with solid wingers and I could see him 70+,(I also think that may be his ceiling) Look what Kane is doing in San Jose, these guys need talent surrounding them, We right now have Zero talent beyond a few pieces.

Because he's overpaid by $2m, but we want to retain $2m to move him. So whatever player you rplace him with will effecively make salary +2m.

My thought is keep him unless you get an absolute haul with no retention. And 13th overall pick and a college prospect is not a haul

Sure. You find the right situation, and our GM recognizes, let's call it the Kessel Effect, ROR can have his value increased.

"I know he's 'ok' here, but put him with linemates x and y, he becomes a 65-70 point player. I'm even retaining 1.5 mil in salary (celery). Give me something big in return"

San jose, Thorton is on his way out, theyll need a new center to fill in. Lets get that Kane guy 1 for 1

You turn Oreilly into a top 7-10 pick in this draft, you did very well.

Oh right. Best of luck! Look forward to some playoff battles someday and may you never win a single game of them.

The Johnny Hockeys and the Alex DeBrincats of the NHL are no longer going to be an afterthought based on size. Fourth round for him. What a joke.

Well yeah, when you have 0 clue what the actual name is and who you pick with 13th, it's not a "haul"

Not sure what you would expect to get for O'Reilly.

That's where we reach the impasse. I don't expect anything for him. I expect he stays unless it's for something ridiculous. Jbotts loves center depth. He talks about it all the time

He also loves speed and talks about how this culture needs to change.

I think he also realizes we aren't winning the cup or even contending for it next year.

I don't care what they do with ROR but moving Risto make no sense at all.

Just watch Troll 2 where J.K. Rowling stole the concept of Harry Pottery from and you'll be caught up to speed.

I would say if they pick 4th, it's unlikely they move either. If they pick 1st, it's likely one goes

You're setting up your agenda nicely.
