Colorado Avalanche Need to Give Duncan Siemens a Shot

Duncan Siemens has been a prospect in the Colorado Avalanche system for nearly six years, and he’s only played one game with the Big Club. It’s time the Avs take a chance on Siemens, especially during a season when nothing can hurt the team’s performance.

Why haven’t they given the kid a shot yet, that’s what I want to know?

They’re the worst team in the league, he’s nearing 24 years old, and he’s only played one game in the NHL. They also signed him to a one-year contract this summer for a reason, right?

They’ve tried to kick Eric Gelinas on waivers to no avail, and they made an AHL trade for Cody Goloubef — who has not been impressive — instead of giving Siemens a chance.
