That's not enough. Minimum would be a late 1st grigorenko and ruhwedel or a late 1st larsson and pysyk/McCabe. - joshs
For a 40 point center? Umm no thanks. He rode the coattails of Statsny for one good 60 point season. Doubt he will ever get that much again.
Grigorenko, Ruhwedel and 2nd is the most I'd go and that's if I'm desperate. Sakic can forget about Pysyk or McCabe unless he's changing O'Rielly to Mackinnon.
O'Rielly has proved that he cannot produce without Statsny. Plus there is absolutely no need for him. We got Reinhart, McEichel, Girgs, Grigs and Compher as our centers. He'll just be an overpaid player in 2-3 years time anyway.

? You know Stastny has nothing to do with ROR's production, they never played on a line together
Was thinking the whole team in general. We have Ennis and Kane (next yr) Hope next year we shall see some players take off and score regularly. Team lacks it big time. - cabin
Scoring won't happen with Nolan around. It will be hard for players like Kane and Ennis to reach 20 under his tutelage. Not saying they won't reach 20 but if they do reach 20 it will be by a slim margin.
So basically if we want scoring, Nolan has to be on his way out.
I thought O'Reilly played with Mackinnon and Paranteau last year? - Sabresfan-365
Nope Statsny. I forget the site where it tells you how often they played together but I'm almost 100% sure they were together for most of the year last year.

Nope.
ROR Dutch McGinn
Landy Stastny MacK
those were the lines they rolled out on a consistent basis. Dutch and ROR played almost every game together. Tanguay was on Stastnys line to start the season, and PAP played a bit on Dutchs Line but when they both went down with injuries, that was the Top 6

Of ROR's 1197 minutes on the ice last season, only 109 were spent with Stansy. So roughly 9% of his minutes.

I've looked at few games and he's on a line with MacK, and either PA or McGinn might be because someone was injured though.
