The Colorado Avalanche have put defnseman Duncan Siemens on waivers with the intent of sending him to the AHL. Siemens didn’t do enough in the preseason to distinguish himself, and it looked a lot like he let the moment get to him.
Well, as Eminem once observed, “You get one shot, one opportunity.” Siemens, in fact, has had a couple.
In any case, as of the time of writing, the Avalanche defensive corps consisted of the following nine players:
- Nikita Zadorov
- Sergei Boikov
- Anton Lindholm
- Andrei Mironov
Boikov will be put on injured reserve thanks to a dislocated shoulder, so the Colorado Avalanche will likely send one more defenseman down before the season begins — unless they go the 12-forward, 8-defensemen route, but that brings its own host of problems that we’ll save for another post.
