The Colorado Avalanche and Ryan O’Reilly are facing an arbitration hearing just six days away. The rare ‘club-elected’ hearing was set after the Avs refused to extend a 6.5 million dollar qualifying-offer to the young forward.rnrnIt’s a story that seems all a bit too familiar for the two sides. Just two years ago coming off his entry-level deal, the Avs and O’Reilly were unable to come to terms on a new deal and were halted by a stalemate.
