Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: A lot of Canadian media has the Buffalo Sabres moving the forward Ryan O’Reilly by the draft later this month. Yes, it could happen, but O’Reilly could be just another player who has his name in the rumor mill that doesn’t get moved.
The Sabres will likely have Rasmus Dahlin and Casey Mittlelstadt in their lineup next season, so why trade O’Reilly now? If trade O’Reilly who will take those minutes and win faceoffs?
doesn’t think it make sense to trade him because of what he said after the season – that hated losing and his passion for hockey was lost as too many people in the locker room didn’t care.
