The Colorado Avalanche have reassigned defenseman Andrei Mironov to the San Antonio Rampage. The 23-year old has been with the Avs since the start of the season but he has only been in the lineup for one game making, his NHL debut on October 5th in New York.
During the preseason, Mironov looked good at times but clearly hadn’t adapted to the North American game. He would wander a lot, especially in his own zone. The floating would often result in him being caught out of position - and that is something NHL coaches will have a big issue with.
