I think they should play Mittelstadt on Jacks Wing for majority season and ease him into NHL center position . Trade O'Reilly at the trade deadline for a max return . Let Casey become #2 center at that point . Top line of Eichel , Mittelstadt and Reinhart could be fun to watch

As we learned in the past it’s better to trade the player in the summer you get more

You hope and that is if he is not a bust and who is replacing RORs 60 points and defensive play?

Maximize his return now. How much will he be worth 3 years from now when he is a shell of his former self ?

Thats not the point. Trading him for draft picks is a disaster move.

You want someone that is already established.

Parayko + Barbashev for ROR and Nylander

draft pick is a relative term. Top 10 pick in deep-ish draft is not the same as 16th overall in a weak draft.

If you move him for say 7th, that gives you a shot at whoever is left over from Tkachuk, Hughes, Boqvist and Wahlstrom.

Id take anyone of those guys over O'Reilly in 2019-2020

Boqvist is 3 years from the NHL and most other draft picks are two years. We are already weak up front I don't think you are looking it through.

The chances are Tkachuk is not better than ROR so I am not sure why you want to put this franchise back 2 years.

Can you please quote where I said don't trade him? Now you are just putting words in my mouth. He should be traded for NHL players around 22-24 years old

If I am trading ROR it is with St. Louis, Carolina or Calgary. Give me a young top 4 and a first line winger.

If you get offered a top 10 pick for RoR, you take it and run. Sign a defensive third line center for a season and move on.

yeah i didn't say anything about whether you wanted to trade him

"Trading him for draft picks is a disaster move"

those were your exact words

Tkachuk at entry level money is better than ROR. Im not getting into this pissing contest but outside of the powerplay the guy scores at a 3rd line rate and is slow as poop.

Wahlstrom has better USHL numbers than Mittelstadt did, and Hughes freshman year as a d-man was very, very good.

That should send a good message to the team. Not to mention Tkachuk is a top 5 draft pick. If you think trading ROR for a draft pick is a good idea then thank god you are not running this team.

Buffalo's goal should be to win a cup on Dahlin's ELC

trading ROR for a draft pick should never even be sniffed
