Or it makes the so called "potential return", or Botts asking price so high, that there is no trade.
- Powerslave


Then Botts should stand his ground. If we got Thomas or Kyrou in this deal I'd be happy with it. As it is I'm pretty "meh" about this deal.

Ffs dude, Hutton is Canadian.

Nah, Burh, you got it all wrong. If Dahlin was Canadian Botterill wouldn't have drafted him.

What I wanna know is why people here are ecstatic that we didn't have to pay ROR his bonus . Why? It helps literally no one but Pegula. Why should we give a damn about what money our billionaire owner is saving, especially when potentially it lowers the potential return we could get.
- Tsyolin



It doesn't matter from a fans' standpoint. But like what someone already mentioned, Botts said if the Sabres paid the bill it would have changed O'reilly's asking price, which means Botts would have wanted more. O'reilly would have been untradable, then. He's not Crosby, how much more could we have possibly gotten out of anyone? He's slow, doesn't produce 5 on 5, and has issues. We got a nice return for a timebomb, we should be happy.

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Gerbe.

You're the GM of the Blues, are YOU trading Thomas or Kyrou for O'Reilly?

Didn't think so.

Gerbe won't answer this, because he knows you're right. He'll just ignore this post, like he basically ignored a similar post of mine last night. I told him to put the shoe on the other foot.

I don't think the trade made us better for this year, and it probably won't help us for 3 years. Hard to believe he didn't have better offers

this is true, IF you dismiss the alleged lockerroom issue.

See above (but I replaced Thomas or Kyrou with Beaulliver and Bellows).

If you were a fan of these teams, and last night the GM traded away these players for a slow, 2nd line center, you'd already have blown your brains out.

If Dahlin plays in the CHL do we draft him?

The wildcard in this deal is Thompson. He has the build. He has the skill.

Berglund will be fine as long as he plays in the right roles and the right amount of minutes.

Sobotka was a salary dump, which the Sabres have more than enough room to take on.

This deal is fine. It's not a steal, but it's fine.

Kyrou and Thomas were pipedreams from day 1.

The only person who thinks that is you.

SO is it you are wrong, or everyone else is wrong.

If that's the deal on the table, that's the deal on the table. He stands his ground, and the Blues go in another direction, and we keep O'Reilly, and guess what? You're still whining.

No, they are not.

a first round pick from two years ago is a good prospect. H needs half a year in the AHL and will be a call up.
Plus a first round pick
Plus a 2nd round pick
Plus a 2/3 line Center in berglund
and a "cap dump". If you want to call it that.

Plus you get out of that awful contract.

it's not a disaster.

Gross. Mittelstadt should be learning how to play center. I don't want him to play well with Eichel and get a huge deal like Draisaitl. Let's see what he can do down the middle

You realize how dumb it is to target players from where they play? He is drafting and trading for what he thinks are the best players he can get.

You sound like a clown staring he wont take anyone from the CHL.
