According to the Denver Post, negotiations are not going well between the Avalanche and restricted free agent winger Marek Svatos.
"We're at a point where it's tough to say where it goes from here," Svatos' agent Rich Evans told the Post. "(Talks) could have gone better; otherwise, we'd have a deal by now."
Svatos, 24, earned $450,000 (league minimum) last season and was tendered a qualifying offer of $495,000 by the Avs to retain his rights. He opted against filing for arbitration.
The Avalanche have approximately $5.2 million left to play with until the hit the $44 million salary cap.
"We would hope to be speaking," Evans said. "If the team has cap issues affecting signing a guy like Marek, we would hope they would resolve their cap issues."
