The Colorado Avalanche and Ryan O'Reilly are still communicating according to GM Greg Sherman. The Avs have offered O'Reilly two different deals, one a five year/$17 million deal and a shorter two-year/$7 million contract but the O'Reilly camp has rejected both even though the deals are in line with what Matt Duchene signed for. O'Reilly is seeking $5 million a season in a long-term deal so there seems to be an impasse. Stay tuned.
