X. Benedict Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Is there any evidence that handedness actually matters? A right handed shot LW can sometimes put up 60 goals a season Jari Kurri .....a right-handed shot on a lefty Gretsky's wing comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Jari Kurri .....a right-handed shot on a lefty Gretsky's wing comes to mind. Also Ovechkin. There are advantages to playing off-wing - namely a quicker shot as the puck doesn't have to go passed your body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 No, you guys told me repeatedly that ROR wasn't going to command a ton in a trade because of his contract. You don't get to have it both ways. First, when someone on this board takes a position on something, it doesn't mean the entire board has taken that position. So "you guys" is both wrong and lame. Second, I (and many others) have repeatedly said that there is going to be a bidding war for ROR, and it will cost a lot to get him, both in terms of trade assets and on his contract. Third, you, I and everyone else here knows that ROR is going to command more in trade than Pysyk, Foligno and 31 or Griggy. Today is a big day. Get your game face on.

I do happen to think there is a limited market for ROR based on salary demands. Pysyk, Foligno, 31 and Griggy and Hodgson does get it done today. How's that.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Heard that OTT's now heavy in on RoR.

Randall Flagg Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think Colorado wants LHD more than RHD at this point, though that discussion is probably dead now after the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I do not believe O'Reilly talks are dead. Not even a little bit. Me neither. Murray doesn't make the Lehner trade yet if #21 was a must for closing a deal with Colorado. Murray's been working on an O'Reilly trade for a long time and his jolliness this morning tells me he is still in the thick of it. I just wonder what the overpayment will be.

nfreeman Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Indeed. If the Sabres get him, it's going to hurt, and the wailing around here will be plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I do not believe O'Reilly talks are dead. Not even a little bit. I agree with this. I think you pray nothing gets done for RoR today and Colorado realizes they will get more value if they wait another week and trade him after July 1st. That way an extension can already be in place. If that's what happens these draft picks wouldn't get it done anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
