Sure

One is a 6 foot 4 inch physical center with outstanding puck skills

The bother is a 6 foot 0 inch winger that is not physical AT ALL and is a very smart defensive minded player

Youre WAY WAY better than that. I can play this silly game too: one wears a black jersey at home and another wears a maroon jersey at home.

The relevant point is that their offensive production is very similar, as are their contributions to the overall success of their teams.

And as you well know, the "bother" can play the dot just as well as the wing.

Nick Foligno had 73 points this year
Steven Stamkos had 72

Let's compare them

I like Tippett as well, they said he's meeting with the brass in a few.

Really? Would this require a trade of some sort though?

I think 89 meant he is meeting with the Coyotes brass.

That's about as good of a comparison as O'Reilly and Kopitar.

Bergeron....ok, while I disagree he's anywhere near as good, I'll accept their play resembles one another. But Kopitar it totally different in most ways. He's a franchise #1 center on 2 cup winning teams, who's also been nominated for Selke trophies and other awards.

Gretzky called him the 2nd best player in the league (not that I agree)

I would love to see what Kopitar could produce in a system that is not as offensively stifling as what the Kings run.

Add to that if the NHL cracked down on obstruction and called all penalties again, and I think everyone would see the large difference between he and O'Reilly.

I would too, for what the Avs would consider an extremely underwhelming trade offer. That contract blows.

just for that, I PM'd garth with an O'Reilly as a player coach idea. Youre welcome

I'll take this as a given.

It doesn't change the fact that the kid has demonstrated - at 24 - throughout the entire season, that his contributions are very similar (disregarding the style of play) to other premier players whose contracts are like the ones he is rumored to want. Many people seem to agree with you that his contract is ridiculous.

I'd hate to think that contract amounts are determined based primarily by style of play

I read a quote from him that said McDavid is the best player to come into the league in 30 years...

O'Reilly did not dominate this season. In fact he got hot in the last 20 games or so. He was on pace for a sub 45 point season at the All star break or close to it.
