Led by Cale Makar and Devon Toews, the Avs have a strong claim to possessing the best collection of defensemen in the league.
DENVER, CO – MARCH 24: Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar shoots and scores a goal against Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka in the third period at Ball Arena March 24, 2023. Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews watches Makar shoot. He played with a group led by a young Drew Doughty that eventually won the Stanley Cup twice in Los Angeles.
Toews, Johnson and Bo Byram all offered the same caveats — there are lots of great defensemen out there, lots of great defense corps, etc. But they have good reason, bias aside, to believe in their group. “I think Bo and G could be up there too,” Johnson said of Byram and Sam Girard after a question about Toews. “It’s a phenomenal D corps. Everyone can skate. That’s the biggest thing for me. You can’t play on this team if you can’t skate.”
Toews named three other defense corps that he feels are among the best: Carolina, Boston and Vegas. The Hurricanes have an argument for the top spot, particularly if we include the top seven or eight, not just the first six. “A lot of times that matters more than just what you have on paper,” Toews said. “I feel like the players that we have and the structure we play in as a team is really good. There’s definitely some out there that can really defend and play hard in their own zone. We pride ourselves on that, but we also pride ourselves in helping to contribute offensively.”
