Sam O’Reilly (TBL) is #MemorialCup MVP. Had a goal and 3 assists in the final (7 pts in 4 GP). Also won OHL MVP & OHL playoff MVP.
Only 3 others have won MVP, playoff MVP, & Mem Cup MVP in one season: Brad Richards, Corey Perry, and Mitch Marner. #GoBolts
Saw some suggestions that it was actually the Lightning that inquired us about O’Rieilly and baited us with Howard. Hope that’s not true, but wouldn’t be surprised if it is.

It did seem like a bit of an overpayment at the time, given that it looked unlikely that Howard was going to sign there and (presumably) wanted to go to Edmonton. Tampa made this deal with their back against the wall a little bit.
