Leaf Rumours

Statistically he kind of is. His defensive/efficency stats are all great and he played against the other teams best lines. Defensively he compared favourably last year to pretty much anyone.

Some justification as to why we should make a move for O'Reilly. Not sure I like the idea of an offer sheet considering the aftermath of the previous one.

The best part is, when the guy produces a chart showing similar players at the age of 20 to O'Reilly, and then talks about how impressive it is...when half of the list has hit 70+ points either once, or never. Even taking this guys' analysis as a perfect measure of how O'Reilly will develop from here, it's only 50/50 that he scores 70+ points in a season pretty much ever.
 
Rangers would probably be smart to move the over rated Krieder and a roster body for him. Toronto...I can see Bozak + for him, but the + isn't going to be a top prospect unless they want Colborne that badly. Ottawa is doable as well I'd say...but again, the "top prospect" is a bit sticky there.

I mean...is anyone going to give up a legit "top prospect" for a 20 yr old making 5.5 million dollar demands? ****...that's 100K per point he scored in his one offensively successful season.
 
Well it depends what a "top prospect" is.

No one is going to give up a Rielly or Yakupov or anything like that. But one of a teams top 2-3 guys? A guy like Biggs or Krieder or Silfverberg. Sure.
 
dont understand whole buzz about guy who didnt prove anything in NHL (ROR) and has demands like he is top 6 player....
 
I just don't see why Toronto should go for ROR.

Not that I don't like ROR, but he's another 2nd line center ... a very good one at best, but we got plenty of guys who can take that position.

What makes sense for Toronto is to either do a many for one trade, and/ or go for someone with size up the middle, which we do lack. O'Reiley doesn't fit the bill.

Kreider has the #9 highest selling jersey in the league so far. Maybe moving him will make it #1? :)
 
Radar is going to be a very good center. He's just pissed they gave the C to Landeskog and blew him off on his demands.
 
Rangers have three players in the top 10 of jersey sales. Montreal and Toronto have none.
