I feel bad for Malinski having to cover for his trash partners.
Yeah, I wish JMFJ could have sustained his '22 level of play, 'cause I'd be working the phones to get him out of Columbus at the deadline if not sooner.
I'm just not familiar enough with aging dmen to deterine who would be a cheap, defensively stout 3rd pair LD to pair with him. I was really hoping Ludvig would take that role, but while he showed a few nice plays, he did a lot of brain-dead shit in his few appearance. I've been wondering if Bednar wants to work with him or if he's just waiting until the Avs get enough healthy forwards he can actually waive one of his extra dmen back to the minors.
