I'm not so sure since this deal ensures a qualifying offer of $6,825,000 to keep O'Reilly as a RFA in 2015

If that 1st ends up being top 5 - dear lord.

I agree with the 1st part.
But the 2nd, I am not concerned about that. We aren't bottom 5 without Kipper and O'Reilly. To think we would get help offensively, defensively, in faceoffs and the PK (this is where Kipper helps us the most), I think it is extremely unlikely we fall in the standings.
