Let him walk and take the picks. The q.o in the 3rd year makes this a terrible contract for the Avs in the future. Remember, you could also trade the picks to a team for some help where you need it.
You can't trade picks you acquire as compensation for an RFA, unless they changed that rule in the new CBA.
It really is simple... CGY is not going to be a top 5 pick. Match that ****, hope he earns it and trade Stastny.
Honestly the way Landeskog and Stastny have looked together, I think we might get more out of Landeskog next to O'Reilly.
That is what scares me the most about this... 'Stastny' not looking any better with Landeskog next to him. If Landeskog plays better with O'Reilly and O'Reilly comes close to earning this contract then it's worth it to keep him.
There is no way that compensation comes anywhere close to his value without being a top 5 pick, and currently CGY is ahead of us in the standings. Obviously with O'Reilly they are not going to have the firesale either. So even if they tank after the deadline it can't be judged on that.
No. Once a player signs an offer sheet you can't trade a player.
But we can trade him to the Flames right? Within this week? I think Preds and Flyers was discussing a trade pretty hard after Flyers offer sheet on Weber.
It's not great value for Ryan. But this is the price you pay when you give teams the chance to offer sheet. I say take the picks. Yes, we could have gotten more. But it's too late now.

Nope. Avs have only two options. Match and not match.
Or that the value is there? If other teams are willing to pay him, then maybe Sherman and Co should pull their heads out of their *****. They could have had him on a better contract than this is they would just open a ****ing negotiation with a player.
This is awful asset management. This front office is a ****ing joke.
Let him go. Watch him return to mediocrity without Landy on the wing. Laugh a lot at the Flames.
I personally think we are better off with Landeskog & O'Reilly together in our lineup than a 11-15 1st rounder. We can easily dump salary in Jones & Stastny.
