• Is it finally time for the Colorado Avalanche to ink Ryan O’Reilly? From Allan Muir: “Sherman knows what O’Reilly is worth to him – something in the neighborhood of $3.5 million per season — and that’s what he’s willing to pay. The Subban and Been deals prove there’s no reason for him to budge from that. So O’Reilly can sit the rest of the year and hope that a trade (unlikely) or an offer sheet (unlikelier) is on the horizon. Or he can come to grips with the new market reality and get a deal done.” [SI]

It’s something I always believed in myself I could do and I’m going to try to make the most of my opportunity here and contribute however I can.” [Fire & Ice]
