i sleep in the same room as an 82 year old man from Hong Kong for the next two months, its free though

What game this year was the “O’Reilly game”?

Eichel had phenomenal games against Carolina, Toronto, Nashville and other memorable ones.

Hell, Kane had games where he was the best player on the ice.

Even Reinhart has.

That’s rarely, if ever the case for #90

Easy peasy, game where Factor gave the old how do you do to Pasta and pitch fairked a back hand top shelfski in Ohhhhhhhhhvertime.

as of now, the sabres are the best 31st place team ever

well written sir

Roster cut:

1. Pouliot
2. Nolan
3. Larsson
4. Girgs
5. Lehner
6. Gorges.
7. Bowl-u
8. Johnson
- washedup20

Idk about the order there...
but i think most of us can agree with your list

I don’t think Girgs & Larsson are nearly as bad as many on here,
but I’m also ready to to give the kids a chance in their place

If anyone doesn’t think we should try to trade for Grubauer...
turn on NBCsports

Not really. But if it serves your narrative. Go for it, kid.
Okposo can’t be sent to the minors during the duration of his contract. No trade or not, his contract is not moveable. He’s done. But you already know that
McDavid vs Eichel. Just look at the stats. It’s not even close.
I am sorry to see the Sabres are embarking on yet another rebuild. 31st place. Wow. Sabres fans must be angry. Maybe you could take your anger out on The Pelugas instead? Not some guy who is merely stating facts. 2014 or 2015. Whatever

but you were wrong, so they can't be facts

Sure...
but he’s not a “take over the game” type player either

And don’t say “for his Cap hit, he should be”
ROR isn’t gonna suddenly change the type of player he is bc we signed him to a big deal

Schiefele is a Center.

Stastny is basically the same player as O’Reilly and is producing slightly more since he got there, which isn’t unusual for a deadline add. They usually see a spike in production
- sbroads24

My bad...

Winnipeg’s wingers on the top2 lines are:
Connor & Wheeler (between Schieffle)
and
Stastny has Ehlers & Laine

Are u really gonna try & tell me that ROR wouldn’t have more points if u put him in Stastny’s spot instead of in between
Wilson & Reinhart/Okposo?

Come on dude

Even if u kept ROR on the Sabres...
same minutes, same zone starts, etc
O’Reilly would be more productive if he had wingers like that

What do you mean? That’s my point. He wouldn’t produce more overall points with a lesser role, but he would be a more efficient player
- sbroads24

My whole point is that it’s how he’s used that makes him less efficient
It’s not that he isn’t a good player

So, if we had a 3rd & 4th line we could play more...
Then we could lighten his load,
which would improve his efficiency which bothers u so much

And if we can get more talent here,
so that he has some linemates like the guys you’re comparing him against,
then it’s also likely that his his points will go up a bit

And that’s what the Sabres are building towards (hopefully, anyways)

ASSSSSSSplund will help us forget him by halloween next year


These new arena updates better have more Connolly designed in...my god the guy carried us to the ECF twice, show some love.

Asplund will be in Rochester next year

Rob Ray played wing for Lafontaine, didn't slow patty or alex down


had to post it, sorry

Jake Allen might be had for peanuts

That’s who I want

Give it a rest drama queen, he stinks.
- SABRES 89

Seriously just like Dwayne Allen was going to be 2nd coming of Aaron Hernandez

Then they should try and move on.
- sbroads24

Meh
Don’t u think we are gonna have to “overpay” any good player to come/stay here though?

- homiedclown

Pretty much

What, for a shift?
It certainly wasn’t for any length of time

If i remember right, it was
Andreychuk (sp?) on the LW

And I’m sure they had someone (at least somewhat) skilled playing with them after he went to Tampa

Yeah but that’s an extreme example, and not really a credit to O’Reilly.

Sure, he’d maybe score more with Laine or Connor or whoever.

But that’s more of a credit to Laine. You don’t need a 7.5 mil center that needs elite wingers to up his game.

He’s a fine player. Not as good as his reputation

Seriously just like Dwayne Allen was going to be 2nd coming of Aaron Hernandez
- Hatboro_Swords

Meh Allen sucked .. I do see them drafting a TE to replace rob

Jake Allen might be had for peanuts

That’s who I want
- gerbe75pts

I used to think he’d be a star
But Allen has been really disappointing

And StL has a good defense!

Still probably worth a shot if he can get his confidence back...
but he’s been pretty bad

I used them bc u were comparing him to Schieffle
No one here has said ROR is a superstar
But u calling him average is more off base than however much his Rep MIGHT be inflated

Bottom line...
he’d score more with better wingers
AND
he’d be “more efficient” if we had a 3rd or 4th line that could take some defensive minutes away from him

I don’t think either of those statements are arguable
Seems like common sense

Is he overpaid?
Sure, but what good player WON’T we have to overpay?

O’Reilly is a GOOD player
We need MORE of those... not less

pretty sure it was after dave was traded for grant, that season


ray played a stretch of games as their other winger to protect those 2
