O'Reilly needs an O'Rolex Watch - Summer 2014 - Arbitration Date: 7/23/14

[tigervixxxen]

Even if the fans are asked to seperate the player from the person, so will the team. And as much as they will say all the right things I don't know that having someone they KNOW is not going to war with them long term and will be a distraction every day until the situation is finally mercifully resolved is something they can ignore.

 

[InjuredChoker]

i agree, if or should i say as, long-term deal can't be reached, it's better to trade him sooner or later.. or worse, not at all. could be too big distraction. that locked room has had enough issues already during the sacco years..

i don't think it's realistic to expect that negotiations will just become easier when he's upcoming UFA.

 

[bohlmeister]

My prediction: O'Reilly takes the one year deal and it ends up just under 6 million. The Ave trade him but not until during the season, making like awkward for all until then.

Seriously though, they have to have enough sense to trade him quickly, right? I know they actually want to keep him but it's not good for the team and fans to have him hanging around.

I believe they can't trade him until after Jan 1. Because they went through arbitration.

I don't think Roy will trade him. I bet he keeps him for 2 years, and ROR walks. Roy loves him, will keep him, and will foolishly think ROR will come to his senses.

To my knowledge there is no restriction from trading him after signing him to a contract.

They can trade him right after the arbitration. He can't sign an extension until January if he chooses a one year contract and until next summer if he chooses a two year contract.

OK. Thanks for clearing that up guys. I was confused.

How many teams have the cap and the players wed want in exchange for ROR and would trade for him.

 

[CobraAcesS]

So the numbers the player and team are asking for are out there with Franson. I wonder why we don't have those numbers for O'Reilly, or will we get them?

It would be really great to know what both sides are asking for.

 

[tigervixxxen]

48 hours prior is the deadline, so soon assuming someone reports them.

That's the problem now IMO.

Most teams are starting to solidify their rosters (remnant UFAs like Stepniak signing, RFAs starting to sign, etc).

I think NYR and Pitt are the best trading partners based on need and return since the Avs could take a bit more salary than they sent but that is if the Staal/Martin/Maata availability is true.

Florida made sense, but I don't by that Kulikov is still immediately available now that he is signed. Maybe later in the season if it starts poorly, but I doubt it is likely to happen before the season starts.

Then the young teams that could use another core piece, especially a captain/future captain candidate like Calgary or Buffalo, are not likely to have more than quality futures to send back, which does not fill the need we all are hoping to have fixed.

I think it will be a mid-season trade as well at this point

 

[Avs_19]

Avs need to stop delaying the inevitable and trade him now if he doesn't agree to a long-term deal. He shouldn't be on the team on opening night.

Jets are in the division but they'd probably be at the top of the list of teams going after O'Reilly. They've got nothing going for them and haven't improved their team at all. They desperately need a player like O'Reilly.

 

[Lord Moriarty007]

I have a feeling O'Reilly will be traded in the end.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

I'd like to see something around ROR for Johansen at this point. Both can't seem to get a contract done.

We would have to add ...2019 2nd

 

[tigervixxxen]

At the end of the day Johansen will sign, Subban will sign, etc. Just our special snowflake won't sign.

 

[freeboy]

Lol special snowflake
Again I take exception to the ROR on outside. These guys, fellow players, all know it's about the money... And he, Ror,will play 100% here! or for another team. I think you are overthinking this. No knees feelings will be hurt.

They all know it's about money but that didn't stop Duchene, Landeskog, Varly, etc. from signing new deals early on.

 

[Balthazar]

Starting the season with the AVS on that arbitration contract is both the most likely and the worst case scenario at the same time. It sucks.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

If/when he's traded, what do you guys prefer, a forward or left handed dman coming back?

We should trade ROR for S Jones or Ekblad straight up !

I agree that we should, but Nashville and Florida shouldn't (and certainly won't)

Only goal should be getting a player with similar value. We have time to address needs, but we can't downgrade from a core player to a nice piece or two.

I agree, but I don't think we'll get enough value like everyone thinks we will.

Been watching Evander Kane highlights for the last 30 min or so. I know it's a horrible way to judge a player but I'd like to see him in an AVS jersey now.

Very fast with quick release.

I mean, if we decide to trade him, we could get a nice bidding war started. And all it takes is one GM to fall in love with him.

I think Duchene and Kane would put up 80+ together. O'Reilly might have a bit more value in a vacuum but I'd take that trade immediately if it was offered.

I have two fears in this whole thing: 1) We don't trade O'Reilly despite the clear dysfunction between him and the Avs. 2) Roy/Sakic fall in love with another player and we get shafted
