Report: Sabres Extend ROR

Re: Report: Sabres Extend ROR

The press called it a great deal for Buffalo if ROR got extended & after he got extended, the trolls here said it's way too much. What a joke.

The makeup of the extension is interesting. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, all seven years come with a $1 million salary and the rest coming via signing bonuses. So O’Reilly protects himself from escrow and with all the bonus money, a buyout, sort of like what we saw with David Clarkson’s deal with the Maple Leafs.

The Avalanche were never going to be able to meet O’Reilly’s contract demands, so they found him a nice landing spot with the Sabres during Draft weekend. And if you want to blame anyone for O’Reilly’s $7.5 million cap hit, blame the Calgary Flames, who signed him to that giant offer-sheet in 2013, which was the beginning of the end for his time with Colorado.

That sound you just heard was Steven Stamkos laughing as he envisions the giant pile of money he’ll receive once he signs his extension.

I know his Sabres teammates think it's a great contract, They can't wait to sign new ones.

ROR's agent is incredible, I bet his phone has been wringing off the hook with new clients.

Murray has steered this ship almost as flawlessly as can be possible. I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt, but if in 2 years we aren't geared up and going then that will be a problem. Until then, relax people.

I like the downplaying of ROR talents now that he's signed sealed and delivered to the sabres. Funny how that works.

ROR is a very good #2 center, He's not a $7.5m dollar hockey player, No matter how much sugar you try and put on it.

He's just below Derek Stepan, And Stepans not worth $7m no matter how much sugar you put on it.

It screwed the Rangers real good as well, which I think is fantastic. ROR is mature beyond his years & is probably going to get better, especially with who he'll have around him.

His disappearance after his team lost showed us his value here, his pride kept him busy under cover of guests at home.

Rangers and bruins have had excellent off seasons # sarcasm they need to get their shots in while they can.

Re: Report: Sabres Extend ROR

Cool. Let's pay ROR to be our second line center. We already have a first line center, so if he plays the second, sounds sexy ro me.

In all reality he will probably be the #1. Maybe not on paper but I bet he takes the big draws over Eichel as he learns.

I'm talking long term. Hell, ROR might end up being our wing down the line if Reinhart develops into a first line center like he is projected to potentially be.

Stepan has 2 options, Sign it, Or pack your ****, Rangers have plenty of #2 Centers on the roster (Hayes and Brassard), No need for a $7m second liner.

When you're not a competitive team, The salary cap is not something you have to think about.

ROR's contract was the death nail for Reinhart...Not Stepan.
