The contract is signed, the ambiguity of his status is non-existent. Until such a time as the Avalanche determine whether they will continue to retain his rights or take the compensation in exchange for his rights, he is a player under contract for the Colorado Avalanche.

"He has a contract with terms. The only dispute is which team is going to be in possession of said contract."
and then...
"he is a player under contract for the Colorado Avalanche."
