The Colorado Avalanche have elected to take centre Ryan O'Reilly to salary arbitration.

The club had until 5pm et on Sunday to file and has decided to bring the case before a mediator.

O'Reilly made $6.5 million last season in the second year of a back-end-loaded contract.

The deal arose out of an offer sheet O'Reilly signed with the Calgary Flames prior to the lockout-shortened 2012-13 NHL season. The Avalanche decided to match the offer instead of losing O'Reilly's services and as such must now make him a qualifying offer of $6.5 million to retain his rights.
