Trade Speculation and Rumors 2018-19

[TrueBlueGED]

Well that's two Sabres beat reporters that I trust

 

Did anyone leak Sheary though before it happened? Or even an idea a move was being made?

I speculated Pittsburgh made sense as a partner, and mentioned Sheary. Does that count? Can I pretend I have sources now?

Na you like RoR too much to be a Buffalo Insider. Maybe a national one though

Sure, after what the SCOTUS has done this week I am pretty sure you can claim anything. 

[nfreeman]

Mike Richards, a very close comparable for ROR, fetched Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn. I expect a similar return or JBOT shout hag up the phone.

 

IMHO Richards was much better than ROR.  Richards played with blood and guts, not woe-is-me.

 

 

I think Botterill may be more invested in trading ROR than he’s let on.

 

I think this is very likely.

 

 

Cap-clearing deal to me is Okposo.

 

Well, it might be the acquiror of ROR that needs to clear cap space.

Pardon me if your joking - but he seems to think something is going down soon

[darksabre]

I've got a very good feeling about this

[jsb]

I'd rather move Okposo because of the term. But make no mistake, I'll throw a party if Bogo is moved.

I think someone stole Blue's moniker, no way that's him

[LGR4GM]

No, I was genuinely unsure. Since he usually doesn't do this, I find his hinting intriguing. 

[WildCard]

By the way, St.Louis? They have exactly 1 winger, and it's Tarasenko. Given the age group we've publicly stated we want, expect it to be Scwartz or Parayko coming back

Find me evidence that ROR *plays* with that attitude. There's nothing on-ice to suggest it's a thing.

[Samson's Flow]

Jeremy White said the source supposedly hinted its St L. I like ROR to StL, nice assets to be had and send him out of the conference 

I am most intrigued by a St. Louis trade of O'Reilly since they have the prospects and young players that would be interesting and actually improve our team. I still would prefer not to trade him at all, but it sounds more and more like that ship is sailing and the trade is inevitable.

 

Are we sure that the "cap clearing" move mentioned is us sending someone out? Could it be another Sheary like move where we get a good player to take on another cap anchor for a few years?

[TrueBlueGED]

I hate Bogo, but he's gone in 2 years. I have to tolerate Okposo for 4 more! Ugh.

[LTS]

Crap.. I might have to fire up twitter.

Parayko, Sobotka (cap dump, negative value), mid-tier prospect?

[LGR4GM]

52 seconds in. Blood and guts by ROR.

Parayko as a major piece works for me, as he is 25 and locked up on a recent 5 year deal. It seems Botterill and Housley are really focused on defense this off season, so that would make sense.

 

Again pure speculation by me, but interesting.

That is how I interpreted it.

[LGR4GM]

Palat and Callahan

I think if we do that we have to trade something like Okposo or Bogo or Moulson out.

[Samson's Flow]

Palat and Callahan

Palat would be a good LW addition, and Callahan's deal is only another 2 years. But both have high cap hits ($5.3MM Palat and $5.8MM Callahan) - that's a lot to take on at once.

I think if we do that we have to trade something like Okposo or Bogo or Moulson out.

Right. I don't think we can take two $5MM+ cap hits without sending one of ours out.

 

That Okposo contract looks tuurrible. :doh:

I feel like what is coming will be...unexpected.

[shrader]

you would hope they have the deal in place now so they know what they have to fill and work with in a few days instead of making a move and seeing the better UFAs already gone

 

Future considerations.  If the new team is not paying the bonus, you make the deal right now and then on July 1st (or 2nd) the future considerations are officially announced as O'Reilly.

I’d also be ok trading to Philadelphia. They have a lot of good young D and forwards.
