Avs seem to have some jump after hearing O'Reilly will be rejoining them....

Sorry, E,J,

Did the Avs resign O'Reilly today after the Flames made the offer?

Wild offense finally showed up tonight. Win 4-3 over the Yotes in a game where the score doesn't do justice to the domination the Wild displayed. Rookie Jason Zucker scored his 3rd goal in his 5th career NHL game and Heatley lit the lamp twice. Nice game.

Yep, they matched the offer sheet & they have money to spend. That said, it's A LOT of cash for a center that has never scored 20 goals & seemingly will have a ripple effect the next few years. Sherman tried to play chicken and the Flames came to the rescue. He(Sherman) really took it in the shorts here. ROR is going to be making 6.5M next year..... Which is 3M more than either Duchene or Landy, who with be restricted FA's at the end of the season and you'd assume will want at least ROR money, right....

Avs are going to have to move Stastny or ROR by this time next year(can't move ROR before that time)....

Long and short of it is this, O'Reilly has some pressure to live up to some serious dollars....

Why not, they signed him, can't they now trade him at any time?

Have to wait 1 year before trading a player in this situation....
