Comments on: Avs’ captain Landeskog to miss second straight game http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/30/avs-captain-landeskog-to-miss-second-straight-game/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 11:29:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: tfaltin http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/30/avs-captain-landeskog-to-miss-second-straight-game/comment-page-1/#comment-132800 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:47:51 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1020669#comment-132800 It’s becoming pretty clear that the Av’s ownership considers winning secondary. From what we’ve seen so far, the injuries and poor play, Colorado is not going to win without their best two-way center in the lineup. It’s hard to question O’Reilly’s value to the club when you see their struggles in every zone. It’s time to pay the man and try to win some games.

Long gone are the days of getting and keeping elite players. How many of our guys could crack most lineups? I doubt it’s half. Who was the last verifiable star to play here? Landy and Duchene have talent, but Kroenke penny-pinches on coaching and these guys will never live up to their potential. Never. It’s sad. No fan base deserves the ownership group Colorado has, because the Avs have literally no hope of getting better until Kroenke sells, which he never will. Avs are the new Clippers, I regret to say. Wearing a Avs hat will soon be regarded as ironic.

The Avs have reportedly offered $17 mil for 5 years (3.4 cap hit) or $7 for 2 years (3.5 cap hit, also known as the Duchene contract). O’Reilly’s camp is a little less specific, but rumors have been going around he’s asking for up to $25 mil for 5 years (5 mil cap hit).

The Avs are extremely stubborn when it comes to negotiating. They seem to have settled on that 3.5 number and aren’t happy about moving off of it. I could see both sides maybe agreeing on something around $8 mil for two years, but who knows at this point.

I can understand where both sides are coming from, but the longer this goes on, the nastier it’s going to get. We could definitely use O’Reilly in the lineup though, so I hope everything is settled soon.
