Spotted Zebra Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not bad at all but I'd put money on him heading to FA after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great deal for the Avs, I can't believe he agreed to less than his expiring deal (the last year of the deal anyways). He is definitely going to be leaving the Avs. Now he gets to play with Iginla. Stats padding ahoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I thought they were going to lock him up for long term. Where will he go after this contract? Good job on Avs part as his asking price was a lot to handle it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yep, I can't see how he's an Avs after that contract, because McKinnon's ELC will be over and E.Johnson will need to be re-sign as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great deal for O'Reilly.... He gets a nice short deal that just happens to make him a UFA at 2 years from now so that he can walk. I would trade this guy if im Colorado. He is a great player but clearly doesnt want to be there, and if they trade him now they could get back a lot for him, as opposed to losing him for nothing in 2 yrs.

elvis15 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Adrian Dater @adater Joe Sakic tells me this is no sign-and-trade thing with ROR. "We want him long term, and we'll keep working on that" It's almost expected, and it gives them an extra year over what they would have been awarded with the arbitration ruling to try and get him signed longer term. They will have to wait until next summer now to re-sign him on his next deal, so if he has a very good year they could be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUtd Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well at least they didn't get to arbitration and he signed for less than his qualifying offer. Hopefully Mack has a ridiculous year so his extension next year can reset the structure at a much higher value. That's the only hope he stays long term. If one can't get done next summer he has to be traded. Of course if someone is willing to offer a top 4 LHD and a replacement top 6 LW right now then Sakic needs to move him immediately.

Fanuck Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but imo this kid is overrated. Not saying he's terrible, but for the reported money he's signed for, he should be a borderline point per game guaranteed player. If 6.2 is correct, that's more than Matt Duchene, and he definitely doesnt bring more to the table than him imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMillerTime Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I like Ryan he doesn't take penalties and he scores goals. Thats a big A in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex425 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hope he walks when his contract is over. And we sign him hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don 't know if either are PK specialist but offensively they are pretty close in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don 't know if either are PK specialist but offensively they are pretty close in numbers. Only similar stat is gm's played. MD is 0.78 ppg career while ROR is 0.55. MD is 0.75 playoff ppg while ROR is 0.53. I'll admit, stats aren't everything, but don't try to make a case for ROR getting paid more than MD based on offensive production because that simply is false.

I don 't know if either are PK specialist but offensively they are pretty close in numbers. Their numbers aren't similar. The only case for them being close is their average over the last 3 years where Duchene is at 0.8 ppg and ROR at 0.73 ppg but that includes Dutchy's injury plagued down year. He has been hovering just under a ppg the last two seasons. Short of another offensive jump next year, ROR looks like he'll be a consistent high 50 to mid 60 point player. ROR is a hell of a defensive player but Dutchy is still pretty clearly the best Av (not named Varly) and the only player with a realistic chance of taking that title away is Mack.

All time Duchene is better. But O'Reilly is trending upwards right now. And his contract is only two years no need to blow his $ numbers out of proportion. If he proves to be less then stellar his next contract will reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchene will be hitting his prime in the next couple of years. Duchene is on the verge of being considered elite IMO, he's just about PPG and I can see him hitting 80+ points next season.

You didn't clarify any specific year, so don't try to backtrack. Even if you had said last year, which you didn't, you would still be incorrect, as MDs numbers were better. Face it, based on offensive output, no way ROR should be making more than MD. And your argument that ROR is trending upwards may be correct; however if you ask most people, I suspect they would say MD is trending quicker and probably peaks out higher as well.
