‘General manager Jason Botterill doesn’t have to trade O’Reilly but I think he will for reasons that include: salary cap flexibility, changing up the makeup of the locker room and the long term view down the middle of the ice. O’Reilly certainly has value and the Sabres should have a number of suitors for his services. That list could grow even further if the Sabres pick up the $7.5 million bonus due on July 1st. There should also be teams looking for a center that will turn to the free agent crop but get shut out.’
