When Friedman wrote "Both sides have accused the other of allowing "non-principals" to "meddle" in the process." it's not hard to know who is referred to.

I continue to hope that they can sort this out and reading his dad's letter re-enforces it for me. Teams win with guys like RoR.
They're going to have to get something pretty fantastic in return for him for me to ever say I agree with trading him away.
Everything he said is all well and good, because basically he's not saying anything really, but it doesn't change the facts that offense pays in this league, Ryan was a 21 year old RFA with one offensive season of 55 points, and if he just took the very fair bridge deal at $3.5M per he would be playing for the team and city he loves.
If his son has so much character, how come he's not able to rise above these supposed "insults" from a team in negotiations? Let them be the ***holes, and prove you're the player you think they should know you can be.
Avs don't value character.
I agree. And as I said before people can laugh at his dad all they want, and laugh at his demands all they want. This team is losing one hell of a hockey player. One that will do anything it takes to win, and take full responsibility for losses even when not at fault. It is a shame that it has come to this, and I do believe that the Avs will be regretting it for a long time. ROR is the type of player you can't afford to lose IMO.
Character has to win out over skill that is why it takes a lot of skilled players a lot of losses to understand the character element of the game
I dont get what he is saying about Anderson?? that he doesnt have good character and he is playing lights out or he does have good character and thats why is playing lights out... anyways bizarre. If I was RoR id be asking pops to please shut up.
Wow, I never saw that. Brian O'Reilly from Radar's side obviously. Who would be the supposed non principle from the Avs side? PL? At least he works for the team.
What are Avs supposed to do though, pay him more than Duchene just because he has character?
Papa O'Reilly is obviously taking a pop at Duchene and his lack of "character" in his letter.
Anderson had a contract issue with the Avs as well. Maybe he's trying to say the Avs didn't value Anderson's character and let him go. Now he's having success with the Sens.
Old Man O'Reilly is a nut case and he really needs to stay away from the media. He's not helping his son... AT ALL!

He works for the team but he shouldn't be involved in negotiations (I realize we don't know if he's actually involved or not). I haven't been able to find the article but I remember Dater writing that Lacroix has distanced himself from day to day operations and he spends a lot of time away from Colorado now. Anyone else remember Dater saying that?

SOURCE: No truth to media reports that #Flyers have inquired about Colorado center Ryan O'Reilly.
ROR's dad is really good at saying nothing at all very well.
