The Colorado Avalanche’s 2015-16 season is only two games old, but it’s never too early to speculate about potential call-ups and demotions. Especially because there are a few players currently on the NHL roster who might be better off playing in the AHL for now.
Against the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars, the third forward line didn’t really work the way it was supposed to, and neither did the third defensive pairing. Coach Patrick Roy tried to do something about it against Dallas, as he moved Mikko Rantanen to the Matt Duchene/Jarome Iginla line and switched Nate Guenin with Nikita Zadorov on defense.
