Ideally, he would have built off his success in the NHL. That doesn't mean he won't get another shot but the Avs are very impatient with guys like him. But I do agree that Manson does have a "presence" around the puck, even if he makes mistakes and takes penalties. That being said, I do think they can find someone that may not be able to do what he does offensively but can be a good defensive stalwart.</div></div>

I wouldn't look too much into a small down time for Malinski's first full pro career, its normal. They show no patience when its clear there isnt a fit with Barron n Timmins, and Heleson told them he wasnt going to sign, so thats a write off. I believe Walker is the easier of the two to replace as theyve done it through draft, trade, and free agent signing. They have failed in multiple attempts to find a Manson. Nemeths, Graves, and others. Let me know some rhd or even lhd that will provide what Manson brings for less money and fits the Avs speed and style of play.
Edit: I can see them sending Ritchie back for another jr year to grow physically and play in the WJC's.
