Well then good on Feaster for forcing Sherman's hand. I just get the feeling that if the Avs were prepared to pay $5 million for O'Reilly they would have done so already. In fact, the reports I've been reading have been pretty unanimous in saying that's exactly what the Avs don't want to do.

Either they let a very good young player go to a division rival or they keep a disgruntled O'Reilly who held out on them for more money than the Avs were prepared to offer. Win/win.
