I wouldn't trade Mailloux for O'Reilly, if O'reilly was 5 years younger, yes, i would do it, but not now.
Crazy talk
O'reilly got the hell outta Toronto because he didn't like the spotlight. He ain't going to the habs.
I mean at that age RoR is not worth much. Preds best bet would be at next year trade deadline where people overpay for these players.
O'Reilly is too old
I would only trade Mailloux to move up in the draft .
Not sure if he has a future with the Habs anyway . Reinbacher is going to be filling Savard’s spot next year and I really don’t think they will want their d-squad to have 2 rookies and a sophomore .
They should swing for the fences and try to get Marner .
Marner would be perfect for Demidov .
I’m okay with trading Mailloux for oreilly if we go and get ekblad
Tell why the habs always have to give up 2-3 pieces to get 1?
He's to old. Not enough good years left in his career. I would not give 3-4 pieces to get Crosby either. Crosby has 2 or 3 yrs left. Not enough left in his career to give up many key components from the habs
Can you tell me how many right shot D are there in the whole Montreal Canadiens organisation ? The answer is 3: Carrier, Reinbacker and Mailloux. Now why should the Habs trade Mailloux? If they are going to trade a defenceman it is logical to think they’ll trade one on the left hand side instead
Crosby or Stamkos. Depending on cost.
I love O'Reilly, but the only thing im willing to trade is futures and B level prospects.
The Habs have had bad luck trading away top D prospects: Ryan McDonagh, Mikhail Sergachev.
O reilly is too slow
Nope… Any player over 30yo right now is not a good fit, unless its short term to fill a temporary void. Plus I would not let Mailloux go for a patch, it needs to be for a long term player on the team and even if its part of a package deal.
no way! We dont give a swing about old man O Reilly!
You don't trade promising young defensemen for old farts like Ryan O Reilly. That's a Bergevin move.
No way not for a half good old center
Too old for the cost.
No!!
The Habs do not need a player that used to be good.
That is/would be a stupid trade…. he's a declining player….stop please.
No Way.
This is not even a debate. O'Reilly is old getting older quickly and trending downward. If history has taught the Canadiens anything it's never trade your prospect dmen for a quick fix. We all saw what happened with McDonagh and Sergachev
