By a Landslide;) They lost Bozak, Komarov, Plekanec, Polak and JVR, and the D is still pretty bad. Nice that they've got Tavares, any guesses on when Matthews demands a trade?

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 damm Doug Armstrong did the deal without having to deal the big three prospects in Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, or Klim Kostin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I am only commenting because this thread is way below the one about Jason Megna’s contract. That can’t be allowed to stand. Edited July 2, 2018 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder if Lou just sucks at salesmanship. Shanahan eventually caught on and got rid of him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I am with you a bit here but largely due to the picks involved and the clarity to the entire league that O'Reilly wanted out and had grown used to "losing".

I think this is a classic quantity over quality deal by the Blues, ala "CDC proposal style." Berglund and Sobotka are useful depth players, but you know what you get out of them, and Thompson wasn't even a top 5 prospect for them I don't think. I don't think the Sabres got robbed, but I know a lot of Blues fans are probably happy they didn't have to give up Kryou, Thomas, or Klim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2018 Buffalo killed the Blues in this deal. Seriously a 1st, 2nd, two roster players, a top young forward on the verge of playing in NHL. Is there another ROR I don't know about? 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solinar Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Ryan O'reilly is an upgrade for a good St. Louis squad, and they didn't have to give up anything terrible roster wise to get him. The futures are the futures, but the prospect pool stays in place, and has some hot names in it as well. Sure hope Buffalo can draft out of the top 10, because if they can't, they lost this trade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picks definitely put it over the top. Take them out, at least the 1st, and I'd say that's a good deal. 2 minutes ago, Blue Jay 22 said: I think this is a classic quantity over quality deal by the Blues, ala "CDC proposal style."

Fair but not as bad as CDC ones where it's just our spare parts for a high end player. Thompson is a recent 1st, so almost 2 1sts, a 2nd, and some quality middle six players just for a #2 centre.

70seven Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Pretty damn good haul for Buffalo. Still dont think STL has a 1st line C, but adding ROR, Perron, and Bozak... pretty solid day for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Buffalo wins this trade for me but this seems like a trade where both teams get what they want. Buffalo can likely flip Berglund and Sobotka for more assets at the deadline or sooner and gets likely a mid to late 1st and 2nd. St. Louis makes the cap work, frees up a couple contract spots and gets a piece that'll help them towards their goal going forward. O'Reilly isn't a #1 but he's a great #2.

manroth19 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is awful for Buffalo. Berglund and sobotka are pretty much cap dumps, it’d be like Sutter & Gagner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Blues are still shakey between the pipes imo. Never been sold on Allen, who will their backup be now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Bozak replaces Berglund, Sobotka is easily replaceable given his salary. Thompson is a decent depth prospect but with just 23 points in 56 AHL games I doubt he becomes more than a bottom 6 player. A late first and late second is not bad for a fringe first line centre who is 27, plays a solid two-way game, and is under contract for 4 more seasons. We see good UFA players haul nearly as much at the deadline. Not a terrible trade for Buffalo by any stretch. This is a win-win at least as of now.
