Buffalo Sabres GM Tim Murray had himself a very busy Friday. After trading for Robin Lehner in the morning, he then completed a deal to acquire Ryan O’Reilly from the Colorado Avalanche not long before selecting Jack Eichel No. 2 overall during Friday’s NHL Draft.
The full deal: O’Reilly, Jamie McGinn for Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, J.T. Compher and the 31st pick the 2015 draft.
After the Avs acquired and later signed Carl Soderberg, that all but signaled the O’Reilly would be dealt this weekend.
