Ryan O'Reilly, star member of the Colorado Avalanche, has no problems with the plans of new coach Patrick Roy to move him from center to right wing. "I'm excited about it," O'Reilly says. "I'm looking at it as a good new challenge for me. I mean, I'll be playing with two great players (Matt Duchene at center and P.A. Parenteau at right wing). I've played on the wing before, with Canada in the World Championships (skating with Jeff Skinner and Jordan Staal) so I'm not totally unfamiliar with it." O'Reilly went through a contract impasse with the Avs last year and missed a bunch of the season so his mindset is different this off-season now that he has a long-term contract in place. "Well, it's much more comfortable," he said. "This time, I know I'll be at training camp, training at altitude early, with my teammates. I know I can just concentrate on hockey and nothing else. What happened happened, but I'm just glad it's behind me. I just want to win with the Avalanche. Last year, on top of things, there was the lockout and that made everything tougher for everybody. It's nice not to have to worry. .&
