We are back this week for round five of our summer series, this time featuring Colorado.

This reeks of a whole, “You can’t quit, because you’re fired!” scenario. {source}<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" [...]
Why does nobody talk about Tyson Barrie when discussing elite fantasy defenders? On a Colorado Avalanche squad that is quite honestly devoid of high-end offensive talent beyond the top line, Barrie posted an impressive 0.84 pts/GM in 68 games played.
