I haven't watched enough of O'Reilly to judge his upside, but I really like:
1. That he's a centre;
2. That he's young;
3. That other GMs think his market value was greater than a 1st and 3rd.
I don't see the Flames finishing in the bottom 5 of the league, so my appraisal of the risk isn't as high as others. That being said, that second year contract is daunting.
It'll be an interesting few days
