Restricted free agent Ryan O'Reilly could become the highest-paid player on the Colorado Avalanche.
O'Reilly received a two-year, $10 million deal during the lockout-shortened season after holding out and he has plenty of bargaining power this time around too. He led the team with 28 goals and produced 64 points in 80 games. Matt Duchene will earn a team-high $6 million next season, as his new contract extension will kick in. It isn't clear if the Avalanche can keep O'Reilly and potential unrestricted free agent Paul Stastny.
