Ryan O'Reilly will be worth the contract when he learns how to win, but he has been part of a losing culture for so long. Pretty much all his career. I don't think I would want him showing the young guys on my team how to win when even he doesn't know how. They traded him for a few bottom 6 forwards who have consistently played playoff hockey. If I'm ownership, I'm wondering why I'm playing someone 7.5 mil a year who doesn't know how to win and then asking if we could pay that to a few players who do instead. He win good. He win real good.

Wanless Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The fact here is that until this year his production has been that of a second line centre and that's what buffalo traded He is playing with different players in a different system so of course there is a difference in stats The trade isn't super lopsided, buffalo traded what they had in O'Reilly not what the blues have, the only downside really is the blues pick is 31 Great deal for the blues Not terrible for the Sabres as in the end including the AVS trade they are basically up a late first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In January it looked as if they would have a sure fire top 4 pick, 6 months later and they got worst case Ontario. **as pointed out by D-money it was protected** My bad Edited June 13, 2019 by coryberg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, had the Blues packed it in and sold off some vets (there were many rumours around Pietrangelo & Tarasenko), maybe the 2020 pick would also be high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took the right coach and right team to point him in the right direction though. Once that happened, he unleashed his potential, which is fantastic. Now he can be a role model for anyone else going thru the Blues pipeline for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROR comes from a losing culture = not a culture driver. anyhow - might be my favorite playoff performance of all time. would have been nice if his goal had been te Stanley Cup winner, but as it turns out, a Marchand brain fart resulting in AP's gwg is probably even sweeter lol.

RoR was stuck on bad teams. Not sure how you expect a player of his offensive caliber (less than a point a game) to have all 4 lines playing winning hockey. When he came into the league as an 18 year old, he was already showing a lot of poise as a player, predominantly getting his starts in the d-zone. He's looked great playing for Canada internationally as well. Would you say Horvat is not a culture driver?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Ryan OReilly looks very good on the blues now. Brilliant trade by the blues. Some nhl analysts have said he has surpassed Patrice Bergeron as a center. That is very high praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
