5. During the season, there were rumours of Ryan O’Reilly being available. I asked around, and was told unlikely, because centres are hard to find. They also saw him as protection for Jack Eichel, and eventually, Casey Mittelstadt.
Now, I wonder if the rumours kick up again. I don’t think he intended to make as much news as he did with his “losing his love for the game” comments, but the Sabres know their mix isn’t working and needs change. O’Reilly has value.

NHL Radio had the Sabres local beat writer on yesterday. He said there are realistically only two players who he could see being traded this summer. Ristolainen and ROR. He says he’s never heard a player publicly say what ROR said and that Buffalo may not want to keep him now.
