Even though he's yet to sign a contract with the team, the Avalanche are not looking to trade Ryan O'Reilly. (Getty Images) As we get closer to the start of the regular season there are still three pretty big restricted free agents aimle sly floating around in hockey purgatory: Jamie Benn (Dallas), P.K. Subban (Montreal) and (Colorado).All three still need contracts, and there doesn't  Los Angeles Clippers Jersey appear to be anything imminent (though that can always change quickly) with any of them.When it comes to O'Reilly, who is currently playing in the KHL on a two-year contract, the have no interest in trading him according to a report from Adrian Dater of the Their latest contract offer Chris Paul Jersey  was reportedly for $7 million over two years, by his teammate, , back in June.Writes Dater:While differences remain in negotiations between young center Ryan O'Reilly and the Avalanche on a new contract, the two sides still are talking. The Avs are not attempting to trade him at this time, according to two NHL sources.O'Reilly's latest offer from the Avs is the same Matt Duchene signed with the team last summer: two years, $7 million, the sources said. O'Reilly turned down a five-year, $17 million offer last summer.O'Reilly is looking for more in the neighborhood of $5 million per year. Both the Avalanche and O'Reilly's agent, Mark Guy, had no public comment on the negotiations Tuesday, though Guy confirmed the  Rodney McGruder Jersey sides still are talking. The 21-year-old O'Reilly is coming off a breakout 2011-12 season in which he led the team in scoring with 55 points (18 goals, 37 a sists) while playing alongside rookie sensation . (And for what it's worth, O'Reilly on the rareocca sion -- about 200 minutes of 5-on-5 play -- that he was seperated from Landeskog). He tallied 52 points over the first two years of his career. Combined.  Whether he's Blake Griffin Jersey  worth $5 million a year is up for debate, but the Avs' reported offer of $2.5 million per year seems a little on the low side. If restricted free agency meant anything in the NHL this could be seen as an opportunity for another NHL team in need of a young, quality two-way center to swoop in with an offer sheet.And the same thing goes for the situation in Montreal where a top-pairing defenseman (Subban) Tobias Harris Jersey  remains unsigned, and in Dallas with a top power-forward (Benn).But as we've seen over the years, there is virtually no chance of that happening, as offer sheets only come around once every blue moon. General managers are either afraid to rock the boat and have another GM poach their RFAs when the situation comes up, or don't want to jack up the prices of other RFAs around the league.
