The Colorado Avalanche filed for salary arbitration with pending free agent forward Ryan O'Reilly. They would have needed to qualify him to a tune of $6.5 million, so it's easy to see why the two sides are engaged in another awkward contract negotiation situation. Other teams can send him an offer sheet and Colorado could still sign a deal with him in the interim. He scored 28 goals (six GWGs) and 64 points last season, so one way or another, he won't be cheap.
