sabills Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 If they make a handful of other moves to bring in bodies for this year I'd be willing to part with ROR for futures. I think I need one of those bodies to be a center, though. Quote
WildCard Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 I gotta be honest, there's really nothing in St.Louis I'm too interested in. Quote
Rasmus_ Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 I gotta be honest, there's really nothing in St.Louis I'm too interested in. Not interested in Vince Dunn, Tage Thompson, Robert Thomas, etc? Quote

sabresparaavida Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 I gotta be honest, I don't know any of those peopleTo be fair, I only know Robert Thomas, and not very well. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 I gotta be honest, I don't know any of those people Rob Thomas is from Matchbox Twenty. Hope that helps... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Thomas_(musician) :nana: Quote
dejeanerret Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 There was a rumor prior to draft ROR for Blues 1st, Dunn, and Robert Thomas. Thomas is too far away and after the draft I don't see a guy like Dunn standing out from the other D we have. Sabres need someone that can come in and contribute this year. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 When does ROR trade get done? Tomorrow? Day after? Sheary is a huge improvement in culture and LW depth. Got to think Jbot wants to continue the change. I am not in favor of trading ROR but I’m not Jbot and it just feels like it’s coming and soon. Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 You're not JBot, but neither are the people claiming that JBot wants to trade ROR. Who knows what JBot really thinks? Quote

Doohicksie Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Stl denying trade. Would have been very interesting. It may still come to pass, but not before July 1 when ROR gets his bonus. And whoever told Ron T (the guy who reported the trade on Twitter) is probably going to be fired. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Dunn and Thomas are both ready. Dunn would be a top 4 D with top 2 upside, and Thomas is on a tier near Mittelstadt, ready to have a Bo Horvat-like impact. Quote
shrader Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Dunn and Thomas are both ready. Dunn would be a top 4 D with top 2 upside, and Thomas is on a tier near Mittelstadt, ready to have a Bo Horvat-like impact. I don't know if they have a more recent list, but as of February in their rankings of NHL-affiliated prospects, TSN had Mittelstadt at 5th and Thomas at 6th. That should put it in perspective as to where Thomas fits in. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 St. Louis is easily the team I'd most prefer to trade with. You could get a main piece of Parayko, which lets you trade Risto for more forward depth. Or keep them both and be stacked. You could build with two of three great prospects in Dunn/Thomas/Kyrou, all of which are ready to go. I only worry of some trash like 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, and Kostin. We have so much leverage here it isn't even funny. This had better be good if it happens. White's good for his little birdies, right? Wasn't he the first to call that Tim Murray was getting fired, not just Dan? "Re: O'Reilly trade report, the Blues remain in talks with Buffalo and are among the teams interested in a post-July 1st trade. But as of now, there's no truth to a deal being a deal in place or any framework being agreed upon." This is from a man named Jeremy Rutherford, who has a blue tic next to his name on twitter. Quote

He would be a huge goof being a Buffalo radio host and tweeting out garbage rumors. To the bolded, can you imagine a year or two ago uttering the words 'stacked' when referring to our blueline??

I mean, just a top 6 of: RHD: Parayko Ristolainen Bogosian LHD: Dahlin Scandella McCabe Plus the others like Pilut, Beaulieu, Hundwick, Borgen, Nelson, etc. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I don't know that it's stacked as much as it is functional which is something we haven't seen in a long time. I mean Beaulieu still has another year on his contract, so until something happens he's on the team whether we like it or not. But to my original point, I am very pleased with that starting defense next year if the reported ROR trade comes to pass. Edited June 27, 2018 by Samson's Flow Quote

Really, that's a playoff defense going into next season. After that let's add a couple more wingers, goalie and let's go :beer: Quote
WildCard Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 @ByMHarrington Botterill on ROR deals: “There are a ton of rumors our there about Ryan and I think a lot of them are very creative.” Was there a deal in place at the draft? “No.” #Sabres Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Almost like Bergevin is hoping to keep his job so he has no problem leaking BS to people in that effort. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I'm not surprised that deal appears to be fake, the 3 team one. That was BS and nothing like what Botterill has been reported to be asking for. I'm honestly convinced we might end up trading ROR, hosing St. Louis, and being happy with it.
