That Aud Smell Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 What number does McGinn choose? 11, no doubt. :rolleyes: Quote
ddaryl Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 How about Resurrection Day. How about Erection Day. because after these latest moves I swear it moved Quote
Hoss Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 That's why I was asking :P He wore 64 in San Jose/Worchester. He wore 88 with the Ottawa 67s. 64 and 88 are both available, but I don't think either is likely. Maybe 10 or 21. Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I was at a wedding on Friday when the trade went down, and have pondered the trade since then. A couple thoughts... 1 - In a quantity for quality type of trade, it always feels good to get the best player in the deal. 2 - The Sabres gave up the 1st pick of the 2nd round in a "reported" good draft, Compher who had a really disappointing sophomore year at UofM, Grigs who while mishandled, has shown NOTHING at the NHL level that makes me believe he will ever be an impact player, and Zadorov who has tons of potential in all areas of the game, but clearly has some growing up to do. That being said, all have good potential, and you have to give something to get something. 3 - As I posted a couple weeks ago, be prepared for SHOCKING contract numbers. The Sabres have NO leverage, and I believe are about to get bent over by O'Reilly's agent. I wouldn't be surprised to see cap numbers approaching or even hitting 8 mil per year. 4 - I know little about McGinn other than looking at his stat line. Seems like a guy who had a career year two years ago with 19 goals. Two negatives...Back problems are bad for the normal person, let alone an athlete. Also, he is a UFA after this year.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 4 - I know little about McGinn other than looking at his stat line. Seems like a guy who had a career year two years ago with 19 goals. Two negatives...Back problems are bad for the normal person, let alone an athlete. Also, he is a UFA after this year. Slight correction. In 2011-12, playing 78 games for two different teams he scored 20 goals total. Plus he had 11 in only 47 games the next year. His back is an issue for sure. Avs fans seem to rave about him. OReilly just did, too, today in an interview. He's big, tough, drives to the net, tries hard and has some skill, too. Good 3rd line guy or 4th. Quote

qwksndmonster Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 So a slightly younger Chris Stewart. I hope not. I'd rather he have the ability to win puck battles. Quote

Andrew Amerk Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 McGinn doesn't have his own thread? Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Then why question it if that's your point? That makes no sense at all. Quote
dudacek Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 So since GoDD seems to be on hiatus, I figured somebody should be looking into what makes RoR tick. Here's a story that broke during his 2013 contract standoff: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/ryan-oreilly-colorado-avalanche-father-denver-post-letter/ Here's a piece that gets into his upbringing: http://wiggesworld.blogspot.ca/2013/04/to-ryan-oreilly-his-family-is-truly.html Here's his dad's business: http://www.brianoreilly.ca Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) His dads business makes me uneasy about this trade :P I need a new avatar :( Edited June 30, 2015 by Heimdall Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 Sabres fans disappoint me. Some guy called in saying because we have Eichel and ROR we should trade Reinhart because there isn't a place for him. :wallbash: Quote

Derrico Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 We have Zemgus, we don't need O'Reilly. I had to, I'm sorta sorry :P HAHAHAHAHHAHAA, that's the first thing I thought and was about to post it. Beat me to the punch. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 We have Zemgus, we don't need O'Reilly. I had to, I'm sorta sorry :P I still don't think when the dust settles Zemgus will be a 3rd line guy. He may see it on occasion for depth reasons but his production won't be 3rd line. Quote
