darksabre Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Okay, but they have to give us Carey Price AND retain salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 There are two dozen teams in the league who would want O’Reilly. Montreal is definitely one but I don’t see them having what we want in return. I mean, I love Price but his contract is an obvious obstacle.

jsb Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'd take Jordan Kyrou and Colton Parayko from St.Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 No way I’m trading ROR to Montreal; anything we’d receive would pale in comparison to how much ROR would save them. If I’m trading him, he’s going out West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I don't get caring that he'd be in the division. If he's THAT good you don't trade him. My goodness, the juggernaut that the ROR-led Habs would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I don't get caring that he'd be in the division. If he's THAT good you don't trade him. My goodness, the juggernaut that the ROR-led Habs would be. I agree. I don't want to trade him to Montreal but that's only because if we're trading him I either want a young cost controlled center in return or a young stud defenseman coming back and they don't have either. Not trading him within the division does nothing but eliminate 25% of the potential market for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 The "legitimate offers" that Habs fans have been making in ROR-Habs threads on hfboards includeROR for Poehling, 1st ROR for Mete, 2nd and stuff like that. Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 This year’s first gets me to take the call. I would need to see where the pick lands after the lottery. If we could pick 1-2 I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I don't want anything Montreal has. Are you sure about that? :flirt: I don't get caring that he'd be in the division. If he's THAT good you don't trade him. My goodness, the juggernaut that the ROR-led Habs would be. I can't see ROR going to Montreal. He doesn't speak enough (?) French. On the other hand, there is a very sizable Irish population in Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Shannon's +/- Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Freeing up that cap hit and gaining younger assets is the right thing to do. Given his reputation, I'd think the return would be better than Duchene. For Montreal, that might be first and a legit prospect? This year’s first gets me to take the call.

SwampD Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I really think the best way for this team to overcome this mindset of losing is to NOT TRADE AWAY OUR BEST PLAYERS!!! JEBUS H CHRISPY on a hand truck, no more picks and prospects!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Freeing up that cap hit and gaining younger assets is the right thing to do. Given his reputation, I'd think the return would be better than Duchene. For Montreal, that might be first and a legit prospect? If you think the return for ROR would be higher then Duchene, why would you say only a first and a prospect in return? Duchene got 2 firsts (I'm counting Bowers as a 1st because he was in 2017). 2 prospects and a 2nd round pick. That means Montreal is giving 2 prospects (they only have 1 I even like) their first this year, their first next year. Their 2nd this year. And that's where the conversation starts. Maybe if they had Sergachev still but they don't. A team would have to overpay to get me to trade them ROR and Montreal doesn't really have the prospect pool to do it. Therefore I'm keeping ROR. Again, I want ROR on this team. The exception is for a ridiculous trade offer. I really think the best way for this team to overcome this mindset of losing is to NOT TRADE AWAY OUR BEST PLAYERS!!! JEBUS H CHRISPY on a hand truck, no more picks and prospects!!! You mean maybe let them figure it out? I'm starting to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I really think the best way for this team to overcome this mindset of losing is to NOT TRADE AWAY OUR BEST PLAYERS!!! JEBUS H CHRISPY on a hand truck, no more picks and prospects!!! There's the problem. Want to trade Kane because "it's obvious" he's not coming back? Fine. Do it in November (when it was, or should have been, equally "obvious,") and get roster players for him. Don't wait until it's too late.

JEBUS H CHRISPY on a hand truck, no more picks and prospects!!! Amen and Halleluia! There's the problem. Want to trade Kane because "it's obvious" he's not coming back? Fine. Do it in November (when it was, or should have been, equally "obvious,") and get roster players for him. Don't wait until it's too late. As I said after the deadline, it is mismanagement bordering on negligence to allow a player you do not expect to sign to get to rental status. It is a damned near guaranteed reduction in roster talent even if you look at it with a long term view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
