After the latest round of cuts, it’s starting to look like a real possibility. With the most recent round of cuts, the Avs are only six cuts a way from getting to the required 23. With 10 defensemen and 3 goalies still left on the roster, expect only 2 more forwards to be cut. O’Reilly looks to be in a 3 man race with Durno and Hendricks to play against San Jose on Joe Sakic night on October 1st.
Most of us expected Duchene to, at a minimum, get the junior 9 game “tryout” with the Avs, but it would be a big surprise if O’Reilly gets the same chance. In order for junior player to stay up with the big club at the start of the year, that player needs to be under contract with the team. Duchene is, but I don’t believe that O’Reilly has signed a deal yet. (Angélique - keep me honest.)
Anyway you slice at, great to see O'Reilly playing so well. Just another reason to be excited about the future, Avs fans.
