The Colorado Avalanche have a much-maligned defensive corps. The negative reputation is somewhat deserved — the Avs have a terrible shots differential (-301, which is “good” for 27th in the NHL), and all the defensemen were in the minus category last season. To be fair, almost all the players were in the minus category.
In fact, that last statement highlights a problem with the Colorado Avalanche — none of them play well enough defensively.
Well, the 2016 NHL Draft is coming up June 24 and 25, which is a time the team could potentially fill any vacancies in the roster.
