Confirmed with Link: Avs claim John Ludvig

[the_fan]

Avs absolutely needed a guy like Ludvig, even if he’s not the guys. Distinct lack of physicality on the defense.

Yeah but we still need forwards more than D

We can need depth forwards and physical defensemen at the same time.

Casa Bonita doing some heavy lifting.

40 million dollar renovation. We gotta leverage that.

It's not even that we need physical defensemen... they just need to be something more than a frightened rabbit when under a heavy forecheck and be able to occasionally absorb a hit.

Although, I think Bednar looked at these guys during camp and went to CMac and said, you know what else might help? Dmen that can actually contribute to keeping the puck out of our net on the 3rd pair. (I think this is the part the new guys failed he most) and am hoping that our new 3rd pair maestro may be able to help.

Who could have predicted that exclusively signing a bunch of smaller, soft puckmovers who can't handle the forecheck to fill the bottom two pairings wasn't such a great idea

Not statwhackers!

I like it, we needed another physical player on the back end.

Curious if this means they're waive one or both of Kylington and Brannstrom

Hopefully both.
