There are tough times in Colorado Avalanche territory right now, and the defensive issues are the subject of the most prominent woes.
Forwards are being shopped, the holes are evident, but the chances of filling those holes seem distant.
I’ve already detailed what next season’s forward lines may look like in another post, and it’s time to check out the defensive pairings.
It’s obvious that Joe Sakic needs to make some moves at the deadline to secure the future of this team, but what will those moves end up looking like?
Will the Avs be able to acquire that top-pairing defenseman they are looking for?
