D-Money Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 /\ It's possible. Colorado still needs a 2-way center like O'Reilly, but cheaper - I think Bozak could fill that role. Then they probably need another young D-man to build around, so Gardiner fits. And value-wise, IMO, a package of Bozak and Gardiner is pretty equal value to O'Reilly.

Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Followadater@adater Wouldn't be at all surprised if ROR isn't traded til summer or beyond. Especially with Avs season practically blown up already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I gotta say, with Manny gone for good, and Kesler having trouble handling his responsibilities at center, O'Reilly fits our team needs like a glove. Left handed, strong at faceoffs, shut-down abilities, etc. And at this point, there's pretty much no way that Colorado will be able to bring him back into the locker room. Colorado is missing their gritty scoring wingers - Landeskog and Downie. They seem to be targetting players of that style. Would they be interested in Booth? To Colorado: David Booth, Brendan Guance (brother Cameron already with Avs org) To Vancouver: rights to Ryan O'Reilly Then put O'Reilly at 2nd center, and move Kesler to the wing. Throw Higgins on the left side, and make that our very scary shutdown line. We'd have two excellent faceoff guys - one of each hand. Whereas Colorado fills an immediate need, and gets a prospect with a very similar skillset to what O'Reilly has (just needs another year or two of development), who will be much cheaper for them going forward.. O'Reilly's contract will likely be around Booth's or less, so that's a wash at worst. If it's lower, it helps us going forward into next year with the lower cap.
