O’Reilly Trade Poll

[Suntouchable13]

I don’t even like Dubas and I thought this was a beautiful trade. Exactly what we needed. Love the player too.

 

[Smif]

He's already contributed more than Foligno.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

The best thing about this trade is that you just know that O'Reilly is gonna bring his best in the playoffs, something this team has not had a lot of in previous seasons.

I wanted ROR when STL got him from BUF. Better late than never I guess.

 

[TMLAM34]

5x5 deal that’s front loaded with bonuses, get it done Dubbie!

 

[hotpaws]

you don't give up the picks Dubas did on rentals just to get out of the first , this is a cup or bust move and it should be judged that way

ROR has never been an easy sign and if people had an issue with Marner's dad well he's got nothing on ROR's old man . I'd be pleasantly surprised if he'd re-sign at a reasonable price/term but he's probably looking for a similar deal to Kadri's and i can't say i'd blame him .

Same here

I didn’t love the trade initially, but came around as time went by. Today looked really good, but this trade will probably be seen as good or bad after the first round

For sure that's the way it will go. I believe trades should be judged before the results come in - after all Dubas doesn't know the results when he makes his decisions so I think it makes to put yourself in his place and ask if what he did makes sense at the time.

I'm not sure I can judge this objectively. I liked the idea of not trading a 1st for a rental and that's what this is. On the other hand, maybe Dubas has reason to believe he can resign him? But even then, if he wants to play here so waiting until the summer and getting him for free seems like a good option, I just don't know.

The odds of going through the gauntlet to win the cup are slim. On the other hand, it might take a couple more years before it gets much easier so how long can you wait? Can't wait forever so ...

He's such an amazing player, exactly what we need so my heart says yay, so glad we did this. My head says this is too complicated to figure it out so I'll just go with my heart I guess.

Really hope we win the cup this spring. And really hope we resign this guy either way!

GM of the week !

Seriously, the trade is good, you can argue it could be done cheaper, but probably not by much and this trade addressed the needs of this team.

On the other hand, give me a break, if Kyle started his jobs two weeks ago we could praise him for good week, but wth you're doing now?

I've been wondering about that as well. But like you said, if we did overpay it's not by much so not a big concern.

And I love that we got Acciari, not mentioning him in the thread title isn't fair to him. He's so much more than just a throwin, would love to add another player just like him to our bottom 6 and he's another reason to give thumbs up to this trade.

GLG!

Kadri was coming off winning the Stanley Cup and putting up 87 points in 71 regular season games followed by 15 points in 16 playoff games. There’s zero chance O’Reilly will get the same contract as Kadri.

My guess is O’Reilly can get 5.5-6.5 on a 4+ year contract. Maybe he gives us a little discount to stay in Toronto. His whole family seems REALLY pumped he’s finally playing here.

 

[34]

Have to wait and see. Too early.

 

[34]

I'd be disappointed if we do not resign him.

Be prepared, doubt he is staying.

All I’m gonna say is ROR is a dramatically better player than Nazem Kadri.

Be prepared, doubt he is staying.

Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. We have no idea. Not really sure why one would choose to go into it with a negative outlook though

I wouldn’t say dramatically better at this point in both their careers. Kadri has played some really good hockey over the past two years meanwhile O’Reilly’s game has slowed down a bit compared to previous years. I honestly don’t think there will be many teams willing to go past 5 years on O’Reilly if that. These type of players usually really slow down by the time they hit 35/36.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Bad poll options.

I didn't think this was the trade we needed, but pleasantly surprised so far. If he can maintain even a 1/4 of what he's done so far I would be very happy with the trade.

I have no idea what he’d get as a ufa or whether he’ll sign for a discount here but I do know trying to use Kadri’s best season he's by far ever had to try to lower ROR’s ask is is a joke .

 

[ACC1224]

ROR has been a mercenary his whole career. It would be pretty surprising to see any type of sizable discount given.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Disappointed.

Just what the Leafs needed another top 6 forward.

I guess Accairi is that, but O'Rielly 3 games 5 points.

He's going to get great offers this summer. How are they going to fit that under the Cap?

Who cares about that now? Worry about it in the off-season.

 

[WestCoastLeafs]

I feel like "I liked the trade before but hate it now" is a pretty bizarre take lol

He only got 1.2 mil last yr I think.

 

[Confucius]

Good player, seems like a good guy as well, we aren’t beating Boston so we wasted more assets to win maybe a single round.

 

[nuck]

The large sample size and recent difficulties make this hard to render an opinion on.

 

[authentic]

Hey, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Anything can happen. Tampa was swept by Colombus one year they won The President's trophy by a decent margin.

 

[horner]

Sign him and Accuri and this is a great trade.

Just give ROR 4mil/8 yrs and front load it. He gets 32 mil and retire as a Leafs. Maybe he won’t provide 4mil worth when he is 36 or older but he should be good before that.
But the guy Dubas should resign is Acciari bc he fits the team like a glove.

 

[hfman]

exactly

playoffs are still like 6 weeks away yet these guys are already worried about how we're going to resign him in the summer LOL

no, never mind about round 1, let's start worrying about if he'll stay in Toronto next year!

ahh logic at its best eh
