O'Reilly seems like a giant douchebag to me. Can someone explain to me why he thinks he deserves 6+ a year when a guy like Stepan only gets 3.07? What a Joke


Oh, thats right, some dumbass GM in Calgary wanted to grossly overpay him. I feel sorry for the Rangers when its time to resign Stepan.

I'm guessing this was just your coy way of trying to say you think Stepan is superior to O'reilly?

O'reilly should be making more than Stepan, he's a better player.

I was just comparing 2 players who play the same position are about the same age and just signed an RFA contract. I happen to be a ranger fan so I'm familiar with Stepan.

But tell me, why is oreilly superior?

Because he's never used puppies instead of clay targets when he goes skeet shooting.

Alright fair enough.

I couldn't tell whether it was a "O'Reilly shouldn't be making more than Stepan." or a "O'Reilly shouldn't be making that much more than Stepan"

As far as the comparison, I could get into semantics about each player's game, I think O'Reilly is better in his own end, and away from the puck, yada yada. But if you want to simply look at last years production O'Reilly commands a higher asking price.

Should there be a 3mil gap between the two players? No. But that's not because O'Reilly shouldn't get 6, it's because Stepan is on an old deal. If he were signing right now, he'd be getting more than 3.

From a strictly numbers standpoint, Stepan is the better player. Stepan has 6 more points in 51 less games. He had a bit of a down year this year scoring 7 less points that O'Reilly but I think that was due to his lack of a training camp and learning a new system. He did have 44 points in 48 games the year prior. Now, O'reilly is better on faceoff and I don't watch enough Avs games to speak to is d zone play but they play almost the exact same amount of PP and PK time.

Ya well, Stepan is fairly ugly so...


In all seriousness though. With the exception of last year, O'Reilly was on a much pooptier team than Stepan was.

New team

4 New Stadiums (One will be done in 2017)

New U.S. and Canada TV Deals

Steadily Increasing Revenue

Probable Expansion Within 5 Years

It's basically better than it's ever been for the CFL.

Some of the games are even on the main ESPN network this year.

Which, sadly, is more than the NHL can say.

Good, who needs the NHL on ESPN? I don't want to have to listen to updates on what color LeBron's turd was during intermissions of an Islander game.

Just kidding, the Isles aren't nationally broadcast.
