Teams linked to ROR. Arizona, Buffalo, Montreal, Toronto and Washington. These are proposals for all 5.

To Colorado: Keith Yandle
To Arizona: Ryan O'Reilly

To Buffalo: Ryan O'Reilly, 2015 4th
To Colorado: Tyler Myers

Now. I really hope this one is false because I think the Avs can get a better deal for better dmen from a different team, but here it goes.

To Colorado: Alexei Emelin, Jarred Tinordi, 2015 2nd
To Montreal: Ryan O'Reilly, Jan Hejda (cap reasons and is going to be a UFA anyway)

To Toronto: Ryan O'Reilly, Zach Redmond
To Colorado: Jake Gardiner, Tyler Bozak 2015 4th
Now I would LOVE John Carlson in Colorado. but he's a former 1st round pick on pace for a career high. so here's something a bit more realistic

To Washington: Ryan O'Reilly, 2015 3rd (and maybe someone for a cap dump)
To Colorado: Mike Green, Michael Latta

Let me know which one seems more probable or what you think could happen to ROR if he gets moved. I am an Avs fan so if any of these seem too biased let me know.

There all decent trades but I really hope BUF doesn't trade Myers for ROR. It'll leave a massive hole in our defence for the next couple seasons and hurt the development of Zads and Risto. Myers is eating huge ice time against teams top players over 25 TOI a game. I think trading him without a replacement is a huge mistake

ROR is also an FA at seasons end so we would probably loose Myers for nothing or have to make a huge overpayment to keep him I'm praying Murray isn't that dumb

These deals seems very realistic although I feel the Washington deal seems poor compare to the other trades you posted. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Mike Green set to be a free agent this year, and Latta is just a 4th liner seeing he only scored 4 points this season? People criticized a packaged deal around Cody Franson for O'Reilly and so we should do the same.

Although as a Leafs fan I would like to see O'Reilly as a Leaf I feel the Buffalo deal is the best deal for you, you will get a very young D man with amazing potential and is signed for a while. I may have read your comments wrong but why do you not like the Myers deal and what makes you think any D man you mentioned below is equal or if not better? I feel Myers is the best D man you can get compare to the other deal you mentioned.

I feel like the leafs aren't getting back enough Bozak and Gardiner is a great get for Colorado but I feel like just adding a better player instead of Redmond helps the deal but i'm just beinga little picky all in all its a good deal

Green is UFA, doesn't help Avs who won't make playoffs this year


6.) 21 Jan 2015
The Buffalo / Colorado trade is good, I'd like to see that.

No I meant I don't like the Montreal deal. I'd love to get Myers, but he's a huge part of the Sabres blueline.

@motherpucker I agree that Myers is a big part of the Sabre future and that is why Murray says he will only trade him if the offer knocks his socks off. But, I could see a deal for ROR. If the Sabres finished with the 3rd overall pick and neither McDavid nor Eichel were available, Murray could draft Hanifin and trade Myers for ROR. Sabres top two centers would be Reinhart and O'Reilly, not a bad start for a recovery. BTW if the Sabres end up with the 3rd overall pick, I could see Murray trading that pick and moving down in the draft.
