Plugging Holes -- Colorado Avalanche

The Hole: A puck mover on defense

Colorado had a great 2009-10 season, but it might have been a little lucky because it was outshot by four attempts per game. The Avalanche were second-to-last in the NHL in shots per game, and only one defenseman contributed more than 100 (Kyle Quincey). This year's Avs definitely need to sign a blueliner who can find the back of the net.
