Avalanche add grit to defense by acquiring Ryan Lindgren from Rangers in trade
What do we think Avs nation? Manson replacement or something more at least for the short term in a run this year?

Seen lots of mentions of Lindgrens stats being very down this year even compared to de Haan. But I have faith this org can get him back to where he was a few years ago. Wonder if they're picturing a 3rd pair of he and Manson to be mostly defensive bruisers or pair with Girard or Kylington.
Yes, I have also hear about the stat concerns which shouldn’t be dismissed. However, I can see Bednar and Pratt working some magic to rehab Lindgren’s career a bit. Hopefully he can find some success being in a middle pairing and focusing on penalty kill.
