O'Reilly hasn't hit his ceiling yet.

Watch him for 10 gamesand you'll understand why 29 other teams would drool and over pay for this guy. Is he an honest 7+ mil player? No. Is he a complete 200 foot player? Absolutely.

I'd say a fair value is around +- 6 Mil to the Avs. To the other 29 teams, a 24 year old 200ft player who could compete on any team?? They will pay more, just because he isn't their commodity. That's how FA works for valuable players. Highest bidder wins, and that generally means over-payment.

This guy is so over rated. He is a GOOD player. You say he is a complete 200 foot player. He averages around forty hit per season and is a career minus player. He scored 30 once and surprise it was a contract year. His history will tell you that he is going to be over paid were ever he ends up in 2016. I don't see the worth that some people are attaching to him.
