The high paycheck was the cost to try to g him out of Col. He's not worth that on a long term deal... yet

ROR isn't worth four 1st round picks.

1st + 3rd, yes. Not four 1sts.

Ah well. Good effort Feaster. Now make sure we can draft our own franchise centre in June.

Now that they matched this move looks even better. Feaster basically significantly weakened a division rival financially for nothing, kept the picks and let the fan base know that he is actively trying to add some young stars.

Good try, it's a win win I guess..I'm sure we'll get a good draft pick..At least I'm hoping.

I figured that Colorado was either going to match quickly, or decline just before the 7 day deadline. If this had gone on for several days, I think the answer would have been obvious.

Pat Steinberg ‏@Fan960Steinberg Feaster: "O'Reilly accepted his qualifying offer very quickly. He wanted to be a Calgary Flame." #Flames

Isn't it tampering to say he tried to trade for another team's player?

Too bad, if he actually wanted to be here. Still not sure if I am disappointed. Time will tell

Still a smart move by Feaster, basically screwed Colorado for next season.

Maybe he'll be a flame in a year or two, whenever his contract is up/goes to UFA.

There ya go, he matches. He's a good player but still don't think he is worth that price

Personally, I love the idea of ####ing with our division rivals.

Ryan O'Reilly's new contract expires in 2014, but he will still be a restricted free agent...along with Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, and Jamie McGinn.

Sherman when asked about the Flames offer: "They are free to do what they want. (To do it during game day) Its up to them"
