Skinner's offenese >>>>>>> ROR's offense

O'Reilly's defense >>>>> Skinner's defense

That would be a pretty even trade where we look to improve the WORST OFFENSE IN HOCKEY

Our defense can't get worse, and neither can our offense. We should at least fix something that's not that hard to fix.

Skinner had 24 goals and ROR had 21. We're gonna give Skinner $7m for that?

And he plays an easier position? Skinner is worth maybe Nylander + 32, not ROR

something something change of scenery we can fix him something
- Shadman306


Who said he needs fixing? He is what he is. He's a damn solid 3rd line center who can take some 2nd line duties, and take some pressure off Casey.

Why is everyone bouncing up and down on Athanasiou's dong? He's done about as much as Lindholm.

RoR and Skinner are both at .65 ppg for their careers. Skinner is not ahead of RoR in offense.

Not to mention the offensive dynamo that is Jeff Skinner scored 12 fewer points than ROR

I know, I know, O'Reilly has never scored an even-strength goal

He really is.

He scores a lot more where most of the game is played.

Center position >>>>>>>>>> Winger

Does not equate to losing RoR's defense, face off wins, and toughness. Their production is the same, we lose this trade if Carolina doesn't add.

So what's a better ROR-centric offer, to you?
- TheSabresTaco


I don’t know that there is one. I’m not sure there’s any other player on the Blues that would be an even swap, and I’m not sure Schwartz would be an even swap to begin with. I think it would have to be a package on both sides. I imagine goaltenders would be part of the deal.

The Blues are likely have a top three prospect pool in the league right now, but after years of trading away prospects, I’m not sure Army will let any go. I’d be okay with letting a couple go, but I think Kyrou and Kostin need to stick around; Thomas and Husso are untouchable.

Who would Buffalo have interest in other than Schwartz?

Not really.

He is probably about the same. Maybe slightly but again its you so why bother.


I'm coming around on Reinhart.

Give him a more complete team to play with and his skill will be evident.

he's the last guy i'd trade out of all the rumored names right now.

And closer defensively than you think.

I know, I know, guys like Skinner and Eichel take naps in the D zone, while O'Reilly plays defense and goalie
