As my fellow writer, Mark Kinz, pointed out, the Colorado Avalanche have recalled Duncan Siemens and Rocco Grimaldi from the San Antonio Rampage. This is grand news!
The Avs have been looking for a steady stay-at-home defenseman all year, and they had one directly under their noses all along.
Duncan Siemens isn’t going to wow anyone with his offensive instincts. However, he will play consistent and reliable hockey in his own end. He also has a terrific first pass to help players exit the zone, something the Avs have been struggling with this year.
