I mean hell, what is O'Reilly that Oshie isn't? That is completely insane.

O'Reilly's argument is that the Avs didn't give him a chance to really be a leader on the team, and the team around him sucked. There's probably some truth to that, but I'm definitely skeptical that he's going to be worth that contract.
