Restricted free agent Ryan O'Reilly has already missed the Colorado Avalanche's first two games. O'Reilly and the Avalanche seem to be stuck in a staring contest regarding how much his client is worth. O'Reilly's agent recently said that his client isn't looking for $5 million per season despite the rumors to the contrary. However, it's not clear how much O'Reilly does want. The Avalanche have reportedly offered O'Reilly a two-year/$7 million deal and a separate five-year/$17 million contract. Meanwhile, the Avalanche will play again on Thursday.
