The Colorado Avalanche should be setting their defensive pairings and lines soon; the regular season is nearing and it’s time to develop chemistry.
As of yesterday, the Avs sent Duncan Siemens down to the AHL. Today, the Avalanche sent forwards Mike Sislo and Trent Vogelhuber to the AHL, which means they will carry 14 forwards and 7 defensemen.
Those seven defensemen are:
- Erik Johnson
- Tyson Barrie
- Francois Beauchemin
- Nikita Zadorov
- Patrick Wiercioch
- Eric Gelinas
- Fedor Tyutin
That’s pretty much how I saw it when they signed Wiercioch and Tyutin over the summer.
