That said, O'Reilly is absolutely not worth 6.5M and I would be surprised if he ever develops into a player that is worth that. He will be a very good NHLer but I don't see him with the offensive upside to be a #1C. Avs chose Landeskog over O'Reilly for captain, take the picks and run.
I would have to seriously consider getting an O'Reilly jersey if he does become a Flame

A fifty point 21 year old center who actually plays center isn't even scratching the surface of what he can accomplish in this league at this point. His cap hit will be 5m, they had to do something to prevent the avalanche from just matching it without question.
