2013 NHL Trade Rumors: Ryan O'Reilly

Trade rumors surround Ryan O'Reilly of the Colorado Avalanche for the 2013 NHL season. O'Reilly had a career high of 55 points in 81 games last season. At the young age of 21, he outperformed other Avalanche centers, Paul Stastny and Matt Duchene.

Restricted free agent O'Reilly remains unsigned by the Avalanche. He is seeking a short term deal that pays him $5 million per year. The Avalanche's best offer was $3.5 million per year. Both sides remain far apart. If the negotiations drag on, look for the Colorado Avalanche to trade O' Reilly for a top prospect and draft pick.
