There's "nothing new" regarding the negotiations between Colorado and restricted free agent Ryan O'Reilly, according to his agent, Mark Guy.
This close to the start of the regular season, no news is very bad news. The Avalanche have reportedly offered him a two-year/$7 million contract, but O'Reilly is probably seeking a deal that better reflects his breakout 2011-12 campaign. At the same time, Colorado is probably concerned that he might end up regressing a bit towards what had previously been his norm. The two sides appear to be pretty far apart and O'Reilly is currently playing in the KHL.
