Leaf Rumours

I can't understand why they don't trade Stastny for pennies on the dollar and use those savings to resign O'Reilly......are his demands that outrageous? (legit question, no idea what he's asking for)

The problem as i understand it is the Avs are offering 2/6.5 the same as Duchene.

O'Reilly last i heard wants 5.5 on a long term deal.
 
.....and who on earth does he think would pay him that kind of money? If his days are done in Colorado because they won't pay him that, then his days are done in the NHL, Period.
 
I seen an argument on twitter from another Leafs site suggesting we sign him to a 5.5 offer sheet. I like the kid but I'm not to find if giving up the picks plus cap space for one year of 2C production.

At least one rumor site mentioned Lars Eller from Mtl. as possible name in ROR trade. Habs fans, your opinions on Eller?
 
habs fans have a love affair with Eller for some reason. I see him as a Tlusty type player myself.
 
O'Reilly is pretty good. He's a good two way center that scored 55 points as a 20-21 year old while being matched up against the other teams best lines and put up pretty good defensive numbers too.

Should become a hell of a player that would fit in great with Carlyle.

Weird, I was just checking this guy out for my FI team. His agent is on bad drugs and may be sharing them with O'Reilly. He's demanding 5 years @ $5.5M ... nuts. Kid has one moderately good season under is belt and hasn't even cracked 20 goals.

Can't say I'd want to have anything to do with him. Looks like a decent two way 2nd line centre. Nothing to get excited about, to be sure. I read some reporter claiming he's one of the top ten centres in the NHL. Laughable.
 
If his contract demands were reasonable I would trade Eller for him easily. I would not trade Eller for him at 5.5 million, at least Eller is playing.
 
Maybe those are the numbers he is offering for Colorado... maybe he wants out and would sign for something more reasonable elsewhere.
 
Doesn't O'Rielly want a big contract? How would Montreal fit into that scheme?

They just forced their 22 year old stud defenseman to hold out and then accept a weak 2-year contract. Something tells me they won't trade pieces then throw a load of cash at a different young player.
 
Why do people think we should trade our 22year old 30+pt great skating 17th overall pick defenseman on a cheap contract for their 22year old 50+ point poor skating 33rd overall pick centre looking for a massive contract....and that we would have to ADD to the deal to make it happen?
