I like ROR, but this definitely isn’t a reason why.
- Hatboro_Swords

It means he doesn’t go in battles, right? You don’t get 1 penalty per year it just doesn’t happen.

You take accidental penalties all the time in corners.

Mitts, Dahlin, Sheary, stable goaltending, hopefully a healthier D, but at the very least a deeper group of D, Erod, Baptiste, hopefully Olofsson. We're gonna be faster an better. ROR at wing with Eichel will be fun to watch. 65-70 points for ROR

18 and 19 year olds.

Sheary will be with Eichel.

I mean, all this is doing is delaying the inevitable by a year. O’Reilly isn’t here long term.

ROR on wing, signed Middlestad can’t play 2nd line center, but all the sudden we keep ROR and he can.

RoR will not play wing.

Wait so what is everyone female doging about in here. The Sabres signed most of the only players we wanted to sign in a supremely weak free agent pool and didn't trade a player that a good chunk of us didn't want to trade.

We don't need to trade O'Reilly and anyone saying we should give him up for equal value is an idiot. Calm yourselves down.

I just can’t believe that a team that finished as one of the worst in history major moves are Sheary and a 33 YO goalie and people are like yeap. Team is 10x better.

I'm fine with all of that. Botts has a price on ROR.

Who will pay the PRICE?!?

Seriously though, I was fine with moving him for an NHL-ready prospect or a promising LW plus a pick, but that didn't work. He can't be taken advantage of just to make a deal. It's a good day. He kept his back bone

There's still plenty of time for a trade. I really hope they don't squander the opportunity.

RoR has spent so much time with Kane, Sam, and Okposo. Unless some kids over achieve, he may end up playing with less talent this year in a more defensive role.

But we do. It’s that bad around the room (several here and not here) have said the same that there is a problem and he is at the center.

I’m fine with him standing firm too. O’Reilly is good and doesn’t need to be given away.

But JB cannot, not make changes to this core. It can’t happen.

Otherwise we can look forward to Eichel wanting out next

RoR will not play wing.
- Shadman306

Except he has in Buffalo. They first year after he came from Colorado, after he supposedly left because he wouldn't play wing. It's a tired narrative that isn't based in reality.

#Sabres Botterill on ROR "there has been a lot of conversation on some of our player, with Ryan his signing bonus is due by the end of the day. It is no surprise that Ryan is the guy teams ask about."

Scott Wilson. Top line LW.

And the immortal Scott Wedgewood.

- ImThatGuy

I don't buy it. This is something that literally just started circulating within the past few weeks which to me is very suspect. This isn't a Kane situation. Seems way too convenient for him to be called a locker room cancer starting just recently.

Jason Botterill said there aren't any immediate moves they intend on making but the team does plan on making changes via free agency/trades somewhere down the line @WKBW

He played for only a few games.

After playing the wing he called himself “useless in the ice”

He hasn’t played wing for us since then.

We need Coga bad. It’s just coincidence that the same thing happened in Colorado?

You like him I get it. I don’t I think he’s fake and a problem.

not a leader
He’s fake
He’s selfish
He’s been the cause of two locker room issues in two different clubs.

He play hockey good though.
- ImThatGuy

Seriously, that's all speculation.

Hes good at hockey- fact.

I agree though, he could be a problem.

Like us down the middle though.

Eichel
Ror
Mitts

Even erod

It happened in Colorado the same exact way.

He might be a Richard! It's very possible. But he's good at hockey, so I hope they figure it out. Get him and Eichel some marriage counseling

Man, I love Dahlin, and couldn’t be more excited for him, but adding Conor Sheary and Carter Hutton is an epic fail of an offseason.

It’s unreal some people want this roster. So bizarre.

Doesn’t even have to be O’Reilly going.

They need big changes. Yesterday
- sbroads24

What's wrong with sheary and hutton
Complete upgrade over nolan and lehner.

Pieces to the puzzle.
Sheary has 40 goals in 2 years

Except he has in Buffalo. They first year after he came from Colorado, after he supposedly left because he wouldn't play wing. It's a tired narrative that isn't based in reality.
