You are a very rare Sabre CF GM, you know that O'Reilly is not returning more than he was worth 3 years ago. Many think he will get more. He is older, has not let his team to the playoffs (in fact worse the last 2 years) and publicly stated that he did not give it all last year. Who wants a player who does not give 100% all of the time. I will watch for your comments as you are not blinded by your team loyalty.</div></div>

I appreciate your comment. But I don't agree on the stuff on ROR. I've played hockey for years and know where he's coming from when he said that. I don't think he meant it as he wasn't giving 100% all the time. He meant it as it got hard to be happy to go to his place of employment everyday. It's not a matter of his on ice work ethic, he's one of the hardest working players on the team. They say if you're happy at your job you never work a day in your life.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarcC29</b></div><div>The Sabres aren't getting Grubauer for two 4th round picks. Considering there's likely to be several teams interested, the price will be at least a 2nd, if not more. And he absolutely is not signing that contract for only $1 mil per season. I'd also be pleasantly surprised if the Sabres are able to get anything in a trade for Lehner. I don't see anyone being desperate enough to give up assets when they could always wait until free agency, since the Sabres probably won't qualify him. This team would be just as bad considering there's barely any turnover of the current roster.</div></div>

The price for Grubauer and Lehner isn't what I think will happen, obviously, I think it's more likely he'll get a similar return as Talbot got in 2015. Not exact but close. Contract wise, hmm, I can see closer to 2-3 million on a 1 or 2 year deal. I'm more suggesting the Sabres should make a play for Grubauer. Grubauer being an RFA gives the Caps a bit more leverage in a potential trade too. Yes, there's not a lot of turnover, but I don't think there needs to be much turnover. Depth is the problem here in Buffalo. Most people suggest trading ROR, Ristolainen, and Okposo and even Jack, which I don't want to do. At least for Okposo, I wanna see if he can have a bounce back year next season. This team is not as bad as what the standings say. I really think they are just having a Colorado Avs kind of year like they did last year. Do I think they'll bounce back like the Avs next season? Likely no. But they're not as bad as it looks, so I don't think there needs to be a lot of turnover. If the Sabres can win the first pick and add speed to the depth lines, they will improve big time next season.
