Ryan O'Reilly, star member of the Colorado Avlanche, has no problems with the plans of new coach Patrick Roy to move him from center to left wing.
"I'm excited about it," O'Reilly said. "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 on 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 the start of the season. Look for O'Reilly to have a 55-60 point season if he remains healthy and on the top line. Draft him in the middle rounds of your pool.
