There are many around the NHL surprised to hear Colorado has matched Calgary's offer sheet for O'Reilly.

Well that didn't take long...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if O'Reilly was here next year, at 6.5m would he not be the highest paid on the team (assuming Loungo is gone). If you look at it that way the offer is insane, but props to Calgary i suppose. It just seems like it is really short sighted. Why wouldn't they try and offer ...

Holy balls 5mil AAV!!! For only 2 years. On his body of work. That is crazy talk.
