I was initially angry but now I hope that we let the douche walk. Duchene and Landeskog are awesome players and I'll be happy with a Duchene/Stastny 1-2 combo. Hopefully one of Hishon/Sgarbossa step up as well, we have multiple centres with better offensive potential than ROR in the system.
There's a good chance that this ends up being a top 5 or top 10 pick in which case we'd have likely two picks in the top 10 and a higher chance to win the lottery. I'd rather take those picks, let ROR walk because really he's a douche and we'd run into problems with him anyways the next time we had to negotiate a contract, draft someone good with the picks, and then offer sheet Baertschi or Brodie or whichever next Flames RFA is worth offer-sheeting.
[QUOTE=The Guvnah;1098083]If we want to talk about character, why not look at a guy like Jonathan Toews? There aren't many players who are a better mix of character and skill than Toews, and his cap hit is 6.3 mil. Yes, it was signed under the previous CBA, but this is the first year since the lockout where the cap is going to fall, and everybody KNOWS it's going to fall. Anybody think this kid is worth that kind of money? Really?
My sentiments exactly.

I think itll be tougher to trade him with the new contract( in terms of return).

Wow Flames seem pumped by the move. Up 2-0 early in first.
When Kesler signed his 5mil/yr contract he was coming off 3 straight 20 goal campaigns, the last two being 25+ and his breakout 75pt season. O'Reilly was just given the same cap hit with nowhere near the pedigree. Don't forget, there was a 3 year bridge contract (which was under 2mil/yr) between the offer sheet and Kelser's current deal. This is the sort of contract that O'Reilly should be on. Indeed, Duchene signed that sort of deal once his ELC was up.
Also, as a percentage of cap the Kesler offer sheet was a bit lower, 4.3% of next year's cap, whereas O'Reilly is looking at 7.8% of next year's cap (this year is not the issue) which seems a bit problematic as the Flames aren't swimming in cap space.
It could work out, but frankly I think it is going to force some hard choices (unless Iggy does them an absolute sweet-heart deal)
*Edit* - I was typing whilst the Avs apparently matched... speaking of teams looking for cap trouble next year...

Considering what the Flames have up the middle this is a risk I think they have to take. Simply put, you don't get first line centermen without paying up or getting lucky and drafting one. Now you can argue that O'Reilly isn't a top line centerman but last season he proved that he was capable.
The only issue is that acquiring him doesn't necessarily make Calgary a contender but really this team probably isn't dropping into the bottom three after acquiring him so really getting him is as good if not better than having a shot at a top three pick in this draft. You know what you are getting with O'Reilly better than any top pick even if the history of success with those guys is pretty damn high.
O'Reilly's contract also isn't so much more expensive than what you'd pay a top three pick anyway and if I'm not mistaken he'll remain an RFA at the end of this deal so Calgary will continue to hold onto his rights, which makes him nearly as valuable as a guy on a rookie deal.
Finally, if Colorado matches then at least you've saddled your division rival with a player who has conflict there and you've forced them to pay more than they wanted to keep him.
I say good deal and I'm with Comish on this one, I wish the Oilers had the sack to try the same deal. Imagine O'Reilly on that team!
And I guess they matched...
Still a good gamble for the Flames. I don't know why it had to come to this for Colorado.

No brainer for the Avs to match, didn't surprise me they matched right away, they need O'Reilly in the lineup and fast.
