You think he's worth #10 overall +?

Still missing the point!

Why is this so difficult?

Trade him for Bellows +
Or Dunn +

Yes,
I do think O’Reilly is worth a player who can project as a “core” player for us going forward

And if he’s NOT... then keep him!

How about Bellows + a 2nd rounder?

I’m not entirely happy about that,
which probably means it’s close to a fair deal

I just need us to not get rid of guys just bc they aren’t “Stars” for what amounts to parts that are longshots to ever help us

I saw on CapFriendly an Oilers fan offer two 2nds for Okposo
Now that, i would do
Bc he’s 29 and we are likely 2 years away from being in the playoffs
That combined with his contract...
sure, that makes sense to move for picks & prospects that may or may not work out

We already gave away Kane
Can’t afford to do that with O’Reilly, Ristolainen, or Reinhart

Otherwise we most likely just end up with Eichel & a bunch more guys who project to be 3rd line quality

And that just doesn’t help us get better

Kudos to you for still running with one of the '30 thoughts' as if it's reality.

It is interesting to me the way the sharks PR/Social media shows Kane so often.

He has been featured in more posts at San Jose than he has his entire time in Buffalo.

They skate, they have skill, they move the puck, and other GM’s are idiots

2 1sts? Who said this?
- sbroads24



Homie was saying Botts was offered two firsts and turned it down. Sabres89 said wait until deadline, “there is no need to trade him now, his value will only go up”. Also said day before draft with Homie that return will be huge.

Either Botts is incompetent or homie and Sabres89 were feeding us bull poop (again). I’ll let you guys decide what one was most likely...

if there is a lockout in 19-20, do you sell off this summer and tank to ensure 2 more good drafts behind this one?



serious question as if they tank in 18-19, and a lost season in 19-20

bogo, moulson, pommer, scandella are all off the books


and another year of tanking ensures 2 top 5 picks plus what we get this summer

- homiedclown


Great question, wish I was awake when posted...
If you could be assured of the lock, YES I would certainly strongly consider it ... it could another Sabres ‘05-06 season!


That said, boy it is a very, very risky proposition fo4 this franchise...losing their fan base with back to back 31st finishes and a lockout that fans hate. That could rock the franchise for a bit. But, if they came out strong from it, fans would be back in 5 games.

Go for it!
They need, lots of help ... more help than what we see coming.

Ryan Merkley has dropped from pre-season top 3 pick to 3rd-4th round.

Rappaport says Bills have interest in Dez.

He also says he doesn't believe it will happen.

IMO, Bills likely not offering enough (to Dez's liking), which I'm fine with. He'll sell himself as a top receiver in the league and the fact is that he's years removed from being a top receiver.

Why not?
They have shown exceptional skill at it, finally something this franchise is great at.

Why would he want to come to a team with a giant question mark at quarterback?
