The D is really good so it's no surprise

MacDonald, Ahcan, Rosen, and Ludvig have all been NHL players and three of those guys could/would be #6-7 guys on worse teams. Then there's Aamodt who's been an absolute beast defensively, and should have gotten a few games in this year
Stephens has been good too on an AHL deal

It's crazy to imagine how much better they could be if Behrens didn't die and Middelton was a regular for them

Goalie stats have been pretty good, too. Surely helped by the defense in front of them, but the three main goalies used this year all have sub 3.00 GAA and .900+ SV%. And that's without having a single legit NHL prospect among them.

He still has to serve his suspension before he can play in the NHL again. That would mean calling him up and making him sit for 2 games, which I don't think the Avs are likely to do anytime soon as they try to save every penny on cap space.

It would suck for that hit to mean the end of his NHL career. He got too excited and finished the wrong hit trying to amp up his team. Now he's stuck waiting to serve the two games, and who knows when, or if, that will become a priority for the Avs.
