from TSN,

Ryan O'Reilly appears to be on the trade block once again.

TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie told TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver Tuesday the Colorado Avalanche are testing the market for the centre, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2016.

McKenzie says the odds are in favour of O'Reilly being traded, though a potential deal could hinge on a new contract.

"I think it's more likely O'Reilly will be traded at some point here he'll be traded," McKenzie said. "But at the same time, it will depend on what the deal is and the financial negotiations that go on with any contract."

McKenzie cautioned, however, a trade is not imminent ahead of the draft.
