The Denver Post's Mike Chambers thinks that Ryan O'Reilly should get something in the $4 million range when he finally re-signs with the Colorado Avalanche. O'Reilly is Colorado's last restricted free agent. He took a huge step forward last season with 18 goals and 55 points in 81 games. He also led the NHL with 101 takeaways. Given that O'Reilly ended up with 26 points in his rookie and sophomore campaigns, Colorado might be hesitant to pay him solely based on his 2011-12 numbers. Still, the two sides should be able to come to an understanding this summer.
