The agent for defenseman Greg de Vries says time is running out for the Colorado Avalanche to make a contract offer.

"I've had some dialogue with Colorado, but (there have been) no offers extended at all," Pat Morris tells the Rocky Mountain News. "They're the one that's going to lose the player if he's not signed. Greg would like to stay in Colorado if he could, but at this point and time there are no offers."

De Vries, who can become an unrestricted free agent next month, set career high for assists and points while playing in all 82 games for the Avalanche this past season. He ranked fourth on the team in ice time, behind Rob Blake, Adam Foote and Derek Morris.

De Vries has improved his play in each of the last five seasons and is expected to draw interest from other NHL teams if he remains unsigned. He's expected to receive a hefty pay raise from the $1.375-million he made last season.
