The Colorado Avalanche’s saga with defenseman Duncan Siemens continues. The team offered him a qualifying contract worth $750,000 for one year. He signed it.
I don’t know why the Avalanche qualified Siemens. Since drafting him 11th-overall in 2011, they’ve used him in exactly four games. Three of those games came last season. Otherwise, he’s been an AHL staple since 2013.
I don’t know why Duncan Siemens signed the contract. See above about his chance so far with the team. I can only imagine that, because he was never given much of a shot, he doesn’t have other teams making him offers.
