I don't see O'Reilly being a risk, he hasn't had a bad season, plus he is 6 years younger with a potential to raise his ceiling, Weiss is past his prime, and is doing terrible this year. I'd say he's not worth a top-5 pick even with a 2nd.
Weiss' average point production has been 60pts the last 4years, I admit he's horrible this year but a new team can change a player's game. Weiss would be the #2 guy behind Iginla and the pressure would be off him to be THE #1 CENTER.
O'Reilly had ONE 55pt season and ya he's 6 years younger but that doesn't guarantee anything.
I'm not totally against O'Reilly but ANY player isn't a guarantee and to be honest I actually favoured a deal of Weiss for O'Reilly if he wasn't re-signed by Colorado.
Since O'Reilly is no longer an option for us or Calgary, I have a feeling Feaster goes after Weiss. Weiss might like the opportunity to play in Canada, ya never know.
Who's to say Calgary is a lock for a top 5 pick anyhow, the bottom 14 teams all have a shot at a top 5 pick don't they?
