It wouldn't surprise me one bit. They might even be inclined to trade him this season if they don't like the settlement.
The Avs have a little under $9 million left in cap space.
If O'Reilly lands over $6.5-7 per season they are in trouble because Tyson Barrie who had 38 points in 60ish games is going to want to get paid $3+ for sure.
In that scenario the Avs will be capped out and might have to shed salary.
