Rasmus_ Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 Per LeBrun “Ryan O’Reilly is still very much an option for the Montreal Canadiens." "I think the St. Louis Blues are probably the front-runner right now for Ryan O’Reilly." #stlblues #Sabres #Habs 2019 1st, Robert Thomas, Ivan Barbashev? Quote
dudacek Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 The Blues are weak in defence prospects and about to lose the lesser half their blueline to free agency. The Sabres have been stockpiling LHD like they are going out of style. What return do we think we can get for O’Reilly, Nylander, Guhle/McCabe? Is Parayko, Thomas, Sobotka fair value? Does it help both teams? Is Dunn, Thomas, Sobotka more likely? Or Parayko, Thompson, Sobotka? Quote
Brawndo Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Posted June 27, 2018 From Jeremy Rutherford 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. Brayton Wilson Quoted this tweet and mentioned he believes something gets done after July 1st Rutherford responded with I agree there’s something there. Just reporting what I’m being told as of today. Quote
Radar Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 The Sabres should not trade ROR. He offers too much that is very difficult to replace, even if a centre is coming back in any trade. Agree. Quote

WildCard Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Lebrun on TSN says to expect SJ to announce an 8 year extension for Couture on Monday https://mobile.twitter.com/Prospects_Watch/status/1012099879164891136 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 according to TSN a first, a second and a top prospect is the asking price for ROR. Price goes up if we end up paying the July 1st bonus. I want a deal for ROR to happen so we can move on. The dismantling has to end this year one way or the other. Quote

Just sayin'. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I don’t think Jbot can trade ROR for only futures. He must get a top 4 D or top 6 winger back plus other assets, especially when we eat his bonus on 7/1. The alleged Stl deal made sense on this front. It had Parayko, a top 4 D. It had Sobotka, the player who essentially loses his job to ROR Thomas or a draft pick for the future. It also had McCabe going the other way to fill Parayko’s slot with Stl. Isn’t McCabe a Stl native? If this was just a rumor or someone’s fantasy it was a well crafted one. Quote
Weave Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 If ROR is moved I need to see an unquestioned starting goalie coming back as part of the return. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 If ROR is moved I need to see an unquestioned starting goalie coming back as part of the return. How about Parsyko and Jake Allen? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 If ROR is moved I need to see an unquestioned starting goalie coming back as part of the return. I think you're gonna be angrier than I am, and I'm poised to be Liger-esque :lol: How about Parsyko and Jake Allen? Jake Allen is not an unquestioned starting goalie. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 He’s not but he better then what we have and getting Parayko is the key. I'd much rather have Parayko and a forward prospect than Parayko and Allen. It's not even close, really. Quote
Weave Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I think you're gonna be angrier than I am, and I'm poised to be Liger-esque :lol: Jake Allen is not an unquestioned starting goalie. I'm angry if he's moved for scratch offs. Otherwise, it'll be wait and see, just like the last 5+ seasons. IMO if they are going to move ROR, the one and only position they could move him for that would provide equal benefit to what we would be losing is a bonafide starting goalie. Quote

Rasmus_ Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 At this point it's likely, not unlikely he gets moved. I think this is just the culling to disintigrate everything that was created before. Almost like Beane / McDermott with the Bills. Now if we can get rid of Okposo, Beaulieu, and Bogosian. Quote

IMO if they are going to move ROR, the one and only position they could move him for that would provide equal benefit to what we would be losing is a bonafide starting goalie. But would you exchange a $5 bill for 3 singles and 2 scratch offs? That's what pretty much any deal would wind up being, some immediate help for the roster combined with prospects(s)/picks(s). Quote

Brawndo Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Posted June 28, 2018 I believe some of the draft currency that would come back would be flipped to acquire some RFAs. I keep looking at Minnesota with Dumba, Nino and Zucker along with the Ennis Cap Dump. Wonder what that trade would look like. Quote
shrader Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 It's incredible isn't it. These guys don't know ANYTHING. I'd throw more blame towards the twitter era and the 24 hour news cycle than towards not knowing anything. It's a down moment in terms of these rumors, but you still have to say something. Quote
