Southpop45 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Countdown on O'Reilly Circle Feb. 28 on your calendar. It’s as of that date that the trade freeze lifts on Ryan O'Reilly and the Colorado Avalanche can move the star player if it wishes to do so. They weren’t allowed to trade him for 12 months after matching Calgary’s offer sheet last Feb. 28. There are several teams we’ve spoken to over the past week that are eagerly anticipating Colorado’s decision on O’Reilly. Do they move him or keep him? He’s a restricted free agent July 1 whose qualifying offer costs $6.5 million. No small potatoes. Of course they can also sign him to an extension for less money if the player was up for that. If Colorado wants to seriously upgrade its defense corps, it likely needs to make a quality top-six forward available. Is that O’Reilly, pending UFA Paul Stastny or is there another way to get that defenseman? If the Avs do put O’Reilly on the trade market (and again, we don’t’ know if they ever will), there would be at least a dozen teams interested. One of them would likely be the Vancouver Canucks, who are said to covet O’Reilly and have depth at defense, which is what the Avs would be looking for. Food for thought… http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/28795/rumblings-market-for-goalies-countdown-to-ryan-oreilly-decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Edler for O'Reilly Booth, 2nd for Campbell at 50% Tanev, Hansen, Jensen, 1st, 2nd for Kane in the summer Roster outline for next year Sedin - Sedin - Kesler Kane - O'Reilly - Burrows Higgins - Horvat - Kassian Gaunce - Richardson - Santorelli Hamhuis - Bieksa Campbell - Garrison Stanton - Corrado Luongo Lack Yes please. That's the type of 'rebuild on the fly' we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberries Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Heavy price tag though. Also 5 million cap hit. Most likely would have to move a top 4 D man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Zebra Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 6.5 cap though if he comes here it's almost certain you'll have a big name dman going over there, I think we all know who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeyedak Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Any chance they'd take Hansen, Corrado and a pick? I just don't see MG moving Edler in this sort of deal, considering the risk of resigning and what he presumably turned down from DET last summer.

Tom Sestito Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm perfectly fine with giving him a 6x6 deal any day of the week. He's what, 22 years old/23 years old? He's a 60 pt player these next few seasons, with a possibility of going higher in production. If the Canucks management loved Horvat, they'd get on their knees for O'Reilly.

NotaSmartMan Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 then garrison would have someone to match his epic beard. Which is all that truly matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Rio Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I dunno his cap hit is pretty big and will take $6.5mil to qualify him this summer. Is he really worth that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Edler for O'Reilly Booth, 2nd for Campbell at 50% Tanev, Hansen, Gaunce, 1st for Kane in the summer Roster outline for next year Sedin - Sedin - Kesler Kane - O'Reilly - Burrows Higgins - Horvat - Kassian Sestito - Richardson - Santorelli Hamhuis - Bieksa Campbell - Garrison Stanton - Corrado Luongo Lack Yes please. canucks would have to add to edler to get o'reilly. why on earth would florida want booth and his terrible contract back? they got rid of him for a reason. not to mention it would take a lot more than that package to get campbell even at full price, let alone with florida retaining half. hugely overrating kane, just like everyone on this site overrates every name player that allegedly becomes available. i wouldn't trade tanev straight up for kane, since tanev will prevent far more goals every year than kane will score, without the stupid high cost and attitude issues. don't quit your day job.

canuck2xtreme Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I dunno his cap hit is pretty big and will take $6.5mil to qualify him this summer. Is he really worth that? Exactly. No doubt he's a good player, and no doubt he would really help the Canucks. But at that price tag... geez.... Only way I do it is if you talk to him before the trade and he's up for an extension in the 5 year, $5.5 million range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see MG moving Edler in this sort of deal, considering the risk of resigning and what he presumably turned down from DET last summer. More I think about it...more it'd have to be Tanev. RFA for RFA. It'd take Tanev, a body and a high pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I dunno his cap hit is pretty big and will take $6.5mil to qualify him this summer. Is he really worth that? Yes. He's got Patrice Bergeron written all over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I know people like Pears are proposing Edler for O'Reilly, but I just don't see an RFA for a NTC deal happening.. Tanev for O'Reilly seems much more realistic. edit: OBVIOUSLY ++ on our side in tanev deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
