Confirmed Trade: [STL/BUF] Ryan O'Reilly for 2019 1st, 2021 2nd, Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka, and Tage Thompson

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

Love this deal!

 

[Gandalf The Habs Fan]

well a mtl first is worth more than a blues 1st

Yeah! But It wouldn't be a smart deal. Habs don't have assets to make a smart deal. We could have got O'reilly but that would have been a bad trade and we would probably have to overpay because we are in the same division. Bergevin not trading for O'Reilly was the smart thing to do.

 

[GongShowWilly]

wow , that's a good haul
Buf will be scary in a couple years
oops , I thought Thompson was someone else lol
not a great trade

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

As expected, ROR returned way less than Sabres fans expected

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

a late 1st ahah

 

[Thallis]

PERFECT. Wow.

 

[bluesfan94]

haha yes great job armstrong. berglund and sobotka gone, didn't give up any top prospects. unreal

Fantastic trade

[JT Kreider]

That's a horrific return for the Sabres why are they even trading him in the first place and that crap a return??

 

[Matt24]

As expected, ROR returned way less than Sabres fans expected

That’s a whole lot of not enough.

 

[Del Preston]

Thought the bonus has to be paid tonight, meaning the Blues will pay it

The deadline was tonight but it could be paid any time before then, iirc.

 

[Kranix]

So the return isn't the moon. Why do homer fans always think they're getting the moon or no deal?

 

[Raymoondo]

wait wtf Sabres??

 

[Oberyn]

I will take this any day of the week as a Blues fan. Woooo!

[CupInSIX]

not as bad for the Blues as I thought it was going to be.

Not bad at all.

[Warden of the North]

Super stoked that hes out of our division. A very good player, and the price seems rally good for St. Louis. All in all this Leafs fan is happy

 

[TysonBarrie]

To be honest, kind of expected a little more.
A late first, a cap dump, a 3rd liner and a B level prospect.

 

[Gandalf The Habs Fan]

Great trade for STL!! A second in 2021....common...I think its was idiot from Botherill telling exactly what pieces he wanted back

 

[Lays]

Don’t get why Sabres are trading ROR though
Great two way play to take the pressure off Eichel and not old+they need depth scoring. Gonna guess
Fabbri+Kostin/Kyrou+Walman+Berglund/Sobotka+conditional 2nd

Edit-probably too much from Blues. Remove the conditional 2nd and that’s probably around what I expect. Or maybe Schmaltz is in the deal?
2nd prosposal-Kyrou+Schmaltz+1st+Berglund

Was wrong
2019 1st
2021 2nd
Thompson
Sobotka
Berglund
Is the return

 

[Sonny21]

Wow, not even Thomas is included. Great job Blues. Also makes Bozak signing way more sense, as he NEEDS to be sheltered.

 

[AmericanDream]

2019 1st, Thompson, Kyrou and Berglund - gives Buff some bodies they need and another 1st

 

[neelynugs]

so the blues pay the bonus, but the sabres take berglund AND sobotka? impressive, doug.
