Cole plays a lot of minutes because he has to, even though he shouldn't. It's more of a fault with the depth than Cole himself.
I really hope the Avs can get their hands on a reliable defenseman that can play 22+ minutes a game while keeping it safe and simple in their own zone first. Johnson's getting older, Barrie doesn't have the smarts, Girard gets manhandled, and Zadorov is too inconsistent. On top of that I not too confident in Makar's ability to shutdown NHL forwards, but that ok because that's not his role. Timmins looked promising but still some major question marks there.
