Well that's a miserable flight home now for O'Reilly.

Well, at least we know that Feaster is trying to get a young center one way or the other, and the 1st round pick is in play to get it done.

It's a moot point, but given that he started playing when he was 18, wouldn't that put him in the 7 year rule category (hence UFA eligible by 25 or in 3 years)?

No young centre added, but some nice site traffic for Bingo.
Good work Feaster

I'm pretty glad they matched, this team is not good enough to take the gamble they just took IMO. Not for a guy who had his Breakout playing with a Calder winning beast.
I just pray that that was their gamble and they're not intent on trading that pick. Feaster scares me man.
I'd like to see them move someone out for another first and try to move up with the two firsts and draft Lindholm around 5 or 6. I think he'll be great.

If we were going to offer sheet anyone, we should have tried for Stamkos in the off season.

How does a team go from thinking he's not worth $4.5 million to paying him $6.5 million next year? I chose that they would match and part of that was they did not want him going to a team in the division and possible egg on their face if they had to face him 6 times a season to rub it on if he pans out.

Worst case, we forced Colorado to sign a player they didn't seem to want anymore to a contract they wouldn't ever dare pay him.

Sure but I was talking about age being playing ability not ever about contract status.

So that signing backfired. If we never signed him he'd still be on the sidelines.

That was a big move. Potential franchise changer. Sucks it fell through.
