The Colorado Avalanche have quite the situation brewing as they will be in contract talks with both Paul Stastny and Ryan O'Reilly. Both players contributed to a large part of the Avalanche's success last season.

I'm hearing more that Stastny will listen to other offers. Possibility he could circle back to Avs, but count me as a pessimist — Adrian Dater (@adater) June 23, 2014

It appears the Avalanche are not a front-runner like they were expected to be months ago.

In 71 games last season, Stastny scored 60 points including four game-winning goals.
