But can we get any of those guys?
If not,
then what’s it matter?

Go with Mittelstadt as 2C next year?
Terrible idea
He’s not even a ppg in college
Even Fasching did that

Heck, look at Connor on the Jets
He had an Eichel like season & is having issues

Mittelstadt might be good right away, but if he’s not then we’d be screwed

Or are we just going for a top pick again?


Who’s gonna be a respectable 2C next year?
And what are we getting back for ROR?

Do you think we have any remote shot at the cup next year? If not who cares, worry about fixing the defense.

We have Middlestadt, Asplund, and Davidsson as Center prospects.

If O’Reilly can get you a young top 4 D, I say jump. And I don’t mean a Scandella. I mean like a guy with upside to be a 2/3 on a good team

I honestly think we’ve just seen bad hockey for so long that any decent player looks like an an all star sometimes.

I don’t think O’Reilly sucks

Good players look worse on bad teams

Average players look better on good teams

Just like at one time we had Grigorenko, Girgensons & Hodgson...

We don’t know what any of those guys are yet

Why not wait for Mittelstadt to at least develop before trading O’Reilly?
I don’t think his value will be less in a year or two

If anything,
with the Cap going up his salary won’t be a factor for teams as much as it is now

We have Cap room
I don’t see the rush to move him

And as far as next year goes...
I’d really like to start climbing the standings

It’s not good for Eichel to be in this situation (bottom 5 team)

Look what happened in Edmonton
Ruined them to the point they needed to do dumb sh!t like trade Hall & Eberle

Kadri is a no for me from the 6 seconds I spent looking at that list.
- kingcong39

Disregard the teams those players play on. That doesn’t matter. I’m sure the Sabres would be a playoff team if you swap one of them for Factor. Factor ties the game late, but was absolutely brutal. Shut down the best line in the NHL the game before, but is only good at faceoffs.

This is one of the great posts.

Ror is one of the best players we have had here in a decade.

That doesn't mean has actually good.

He's popular, because we have limited choices

Outside of the obvious top 10 centers, who is taking O’Reilly over these

Barzal
Point
Kadri
Couturier
Barkov
Kuznetsov
Monahan
Getzlaf
Giroux
Mackinnon
Kopitar
Karlsson (Vegas Karlsson)
Couture
Schenn
Namestnikov
Trochek

This isn’t including guys like Patrick, Hirschier, Who should be very good soon.

I bet within 2 years he isn’t a top 50 Center. I would move him now, but that’s just me

- sbroads24


I agree with you. Even if you defend his performance and contract right now (I don't), I don't like where it's trending. I want to get out from under that contract, even if the return isn't great.

I love it how we are anointing Casey the " next one " and he hasn't played a second in the NHL. Overate much.

Well the new Bladerunner was a waste of 3hours

It wasn’t terrible,
but easily could’ve been much much better

Starting with cutting out 30min or so

The pacing was brutal at points

I had high hopes
That was a bummer

Movies were like that back in the 70s though

No reason for the pacing to suck in a movie today

I don’t mind a long movie if there’s justification for it
This just dragged on for a while

My wife bought me PS 3 and about 6 Hockey games, I can't play any of them. Pisses me off, I have no patience and I played hockey but can't play video games.

So mitts is overrated but Kane isn't on this board?

He was great in the worlds, what's not to be excited for.?

Fasching had 30pts in 40 games as a freshman, and 26pts in 38 games as a sophmore. He didnt get to a ppg til his junior year, but who cares about facts.
Coming from "the man himself" you could at least fact check your work.
On that note, take me (and all of us) "to school" again

Jesus Christ, I said Casey and nothing about Kane, let it go. Kane is an NHL player and Casey is not.

He doesnt need to be good until after the lockout.
