Colorado Avalanche and the Francois Beauchemin Problem

Defenseman Francois Beauchemin is a problem for the Colorado Avalanche. His bad play and lack of leadership have deteriorated an already poor blueline. What’s more, he’s expensive.

What can the Colorado Avalanche do about this problem?

Francois Beauchemin Playing Badly

Where to start with how Beauchemin is a problem for the Avalanche? First of all, he’s playing badly. We could start small, with the fact that he’s at a -3 on the plus/minus ratio.

We could point out that he has an ugly turnover ratio — -21, meaning he’s turned the puck over 21 more times than he’s taken it away.
