Hearing rumours from another site that leafs leafs are gearing up to possibly offer sheet O'Reilly! Now we all know that Colorado would match it but it also says that Colorado did mention that there are a few befencive prices that Toronto could offer to make a trade go through.

Now remember that it is only O'Reillys rights that we are talking about here so let's not over due it and say that Toronto would have to trade the world, but what do you thing it would take to make this happen?

My guess is that it would revolve around Gardiner and a pick? I don't believe, at least I pray not, that the pick won't be a 2015 1st, and that it is a 2nd or a 2016 1st, but what does everyone else think?

2015 1st + Gardiner would be a huge steal for TOR
No way COL accepts this

Nonis doesn't seem like the type of GM who would be happy to sign RFAs and pay compensation.

Actually Nonis isn't the type of GM that does anything good.

Gardiner and a 1st is not a steal for Toronto just to have the rights to orielly . huge over payment by t.o

Nonis loves to trade draft picks though. Surprises me that nobody good wants to play for toronto anymore. a lot to do with the big overrated captain #3

COL hangs up the phone laughing!

Gardiner is over-rated!

The Avs could get a lot more for O'Reilly, IF they were to trade his rights, which they won't, not after losing Stastny.

1st in 15+jake gardiner for oreilly sounds about right, leafs then sign del zotto and trade franson for 3 quarter pounders and a large double double

A player in arbitration can't be offer-sheeted.

This rights thing is a red herring. Whoever he gets traded to he has to sign with as he is still a RFA.

Gardiner and a 1st would not be enough

Bcampoli: if you're referring to what I posted, you're wrong. Plain and simple: a player in arbitration can't be offer-sheeted.

If you're referring to a different post, my apologizes. However, the results remains the same.

Colorado lost stastny,no way they let O'reilly go

^ if they were that concerned about keeping O'Reilly they would have signed him. There is still a chance he moves, albeit a small one

The "period" for teams to offer an offer sheet has passed, so we Colorado doesn't have to worry about it and can try and get RR signed to a long term deal!
