Ryan O'Reilly, Jamie McGinn traded to Buffalo for Zadorov + more

Wait, I know how this works, who would you rather have: Crosby at $8.7M or O'Reilly at $7.5M?

Crosby's done, Kessel is gonna poison him with his, uh, poison.

Fixed it.

Wait, that sounds worse.

I'll tell you something, that Tyler Bozak guy sure is a steal at $4.2m.

The David Clarkson special!

 

[bustaheims]

His 2013-2014 year seems more like an aberration for him offensively.  He really seems more like a 20 goal, 30 assist player than a 30 goals 40 assist potential guy.  I'm not sure I want to pay 7.5M for 50 points.

That's kind of where I'm at for him. It's probably roughly market value for a player like him, but I'd have trouble having that on my roster. He's sort of a tweener type player. He's better than a 2nd line centre, but he's not good enough to be a 1st line guy on the type of team you want to be. That's more money than you want to assign to your #2, and if he's not good enough to be your #1 . . .

And, I mean, isn't the real question there that between Eichel and Reinhart that ideally O'Reilly would be the #3? Or I guess Reinhart on the wing?

Longer-term, yeah, I would imagine so. Though, someone could obviously end up on the wing like you say. Buffalo always felt like an odd fit for ROR long-term.

Reinhart possibly available now?

Unfortunately, most GMs aren't JFJ. If they have more than one really great prospect, they're not automatically inclined to trade one away.

You know...in instances where you don't have much value to add, you don't actually have to respond to every post / comment.

You know...in instances where you often don't have much value to add, you don't actually have to respond to every post / comment.

If an instance like that ever comes up I'll keep it in mind.

And O'Reilly signs a seven-year 52.5 million extension with the Sabres. Yea, 7.5 mill per year.

Edit- Apparently I am slower than Jason Allison with athlete's foot, didn't see this was already posted. But man that is a huge cap hit.
