AVS said to be mulling it's options for ROR...could Sabres trade be back on?

[DetDannyWilliams]

The Colorado Avalanche are willing to listen to offers for centre Ryan O’Reilly, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday’s Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada.
There is no guarantee the 24-year-old gets moved by the 2015 NHL Draft on June 26 – or moved at all for that matter – but Avalanche management will mull its options.

It’s expected the Avalanche would want help on the blueline in return for O’Reilly, who was drafted 33rd overall by the Avs in 2009 and is entering the final year of his contract before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2016. His current salary cap hit is $6 million.

How many times have we heard ROR to Sabres over the past 5 or 6 years? 15? 20?

Yep..Plenty of threads on ROR in the last 6 months and all of them are buried on page 5..6 and 7

We don't really need another center.

"Mulling options" = "If you want him, we'll listen, but you're going to pay through the nose to get him".

No thanks. I like him, he's a good player, but we would have to pay out the ass for him when he plays a position we are rich at now. We have other needs. Plus the return would likely be a youngster, likely zad, and he's almost untouchable to me.

We need good centers for all the lines but he's going to cost anyone who gets him real big.

A middle of eichel-reinhart-girgensons-Larsson isn't good?

Re: AVS said to be mulling it's options for ROR...could Sabres trade be back on?

Grigerenko, Zad and one of our 2nds for ROR

IN A HEARTBEAT!

give him a 4 year deal at $7.5 million per.

Eichel, ROR, Girgs and Larsson.

Reinhart for Marner.

We also forget that the guy seems extremely driven by money. I don't see him walking away from UFA where he will get an insane contract.

Is this your latest excuse for how this can't work?

nope. my point has remained. any deal involving zad is off the table. especially not for a guy who plays a position we are already at capacity with who may walk after a season and command a huge investment from.

we got our centers. let em grow.

ROR is one of the best two way centers in the game right now. Aside from being a great mentor for Eichel, the next four years should be the prime of his career... same with Tyler Ennis. Moulson provides some solid vet coverage on the other wing.

That's a line that will win their Corsi number every single night.... for the next FOUR YEARS.

Put Samson in the place of ROR and he may get there 3 years from now.

MAY.

just like Zad... just like Grigerenko... may.

I want to build a 2nd line that will be impossible to play against for the next four years. You're banking on a hope of guys developing. Sorry, if your goal is to win hockey games, you're line of thinking makes no hockey sense whatsoever.

No, I want to win hockey games. I just am patient enough to let what we have grow. Sorry if you disagree, but that's how I view it.

Prospect porn for the next 3-4 years?
