Not so much a rumor as it is a best case scenario.

Oh man, I'd do it simply to see Staal playing for Roy.

Is this suggesting Ryan O'Reilly for Éric Staal?

 

[Ceremony]

O'Reilly didn't embarrass the Avalanche and we wouldn't trade a left wing for a centre. Pass.

Oh I didn't get that far, just Eric Staal playing for the Avalanche.

Wait, what? Isn't O'Reilly a natural center? And money aside, you wouldn't snap that trade? What? Apparently I have no idea what's going on out there.

 

[What the Faulk]

I was on the page for maybe 10 seconds but I thought I saw that proposed. I would pass as well.

Yeah he's a natural center and only plays wing because the Avs have a surplus, also he has excellent chemistry as a winger with Duchene.

You from colorado? In colorado the embarrassment to the organization was all the papers could talk about. Asking for more money, accepting an offer sheet from calgary forcing the team to pay you what you wanted, and then holding out for even more money at the beginning of the season looks really good to an organization. So much so that it was one of the few and very rare instances that a team took a player to arbitration. At least that what was talked about in Colorado. Who knows though...
