I wonder what sabres fans, and most importantly, his teammates, think of this?
There are still questions about how things went down at the end of the season with O’Reilly. But that’s water under the bridge. He’s gone and the Sabres are better for it.
I will really miss you, you have been my hope for the Sabres. Good Luck.
Dear Ryan
After three years of cheering you on, as you wowed us, over and over again, I’m certain that it will be difficult NOT to do so, when the 2018/2019 schedule brings you back to Buffalo, as a member of the St. Louis Blues. However, as you most assuredly know, from your time spent in Buffalo, Sabre Fans will always support their Hometown Team, first and foremost, with their favorite individual players following, as a close second. Nonetheless, please know that, regardless of where you go, or what team logo you’ll be wearing, to those of us who were so often amazed by your talent and dedication, throughout your time spent as a Buffalo Sabre, you’ll always be well respected, and fondly remembered…a favorite player, who did so much, as a member of our favorite Team. My family and I truly wish you well, moving forward, and hope that you’ll have a tremendously successful season, with your new team…except, of course, upon those occasions when you’ll be playing against your former Team, here in Buffalo. Thanks for everything, stay healthy, and best of luck, to you and your family!
