Hey
@globaleagle, someone suggested to me (because The Sabres really, really want O'Reilly), that we should be getting Ennis and Zadarov at a minimum for him. This is what I countered with...what are your thought's (Also, apparently Roy is enquiring about Radulov, because of their connection in the QMJHL)?
Ennis? Almost 5 mill for 5 foot 9, 40 point per season smallish center? Is that what we need right now?
Zadorov - yes please. Swap Ennis with Zemgus Girgensons, who I think has a lot of upside, then we talk if they throw in a pick. I'd compensate them with say Stuart if they are keen.
My trade:-
Ryan O'Reilly + Brad Stuart + 71st overall (3rd rounder) FOR (Cap Hit 9.8 mill)
Nikita Zadarov + Zemgus Girgensons + 31st overall (2nd rounder) (Cap Hit 3.113 mill)
We then draft Meier & use the extra dollars for Radulov.
Acquire Franson if possible.
Forwards top 6: Landeskog, Iginla, Mackinnon, Tanguay, Radulov, Duchene
Forwards bottom 6: Mcginn, Girgensons, Meier, Hishon, Mitchell & Mcleod
Defense: Johnson, Barrie, Redmond, Franson, Zadarov & Siemens
Goalie: Varlamov & Pickard
Hmmmm, that team actually likes very, very good
