I wouldn’t rule out a trade for a RD as well.
It’s entirely possible Manson is missing significant time and they want a physical presence to replace him.
It’s also possible he’s LTIR and the Avs are looking to solidify their entire top 6 D.
If Manson is out the rest of the year into the playoffs and they still bring in Jones. Ok, I will stand corrected.
I like my chances of not having to do that..
