McKenzie: Sabres' Murray will "try everything within his power" to land O'Reilly

Bob McKenzie was on Toronto’s TSN 1050 on Friday afternoon.

On if there is much to the Ryan O’Reilly to the Sabres talk:

“Well, Buffalo is interested. And they were interested before. And they’re still interested. And I think Tim Murray is going to try everything within his power to make it happen. If he couldn’t make it happen when he had Tyler Myers, I’m not sure that there’s anything necessarily there that would make it easier. If anything, it would probably be more difficult if you’re trying to get Ryan O’Reilly out of Colorado.

“Colorado is open to the notion, I think. I’d be shocked if it happens between now and the deadline, but it’s not out of the question. But this summer I think certainly because of the financial implications of where O’Reilly’s contract is going, and the fact that they need help in other areas more than they need Ryan O’Reilly - even though Patrick Roy loves rolling Ryan O’Reilly out the gate every shift he possibly can - it’s probably not feasible to keep him long-term.

“So therefore I think he will move in the summer, if not sooner.”
