Obviously the Avs felt ROR was worth that or would not have matched.

Based on Sakic's comments it sounds like he might want more than 6.5. 6 to me would be fair. 7 or 7.5 seems a bit steep. O'Reilly should realize they have a lot of talented young players and they are all going to need big raises. To keep that team together everyone might need to give a little. The fact he's playing hardball twice in two years doesn't scream "character" or "leader" to me.
