We wrote about Avalanche defenseman Kyle Quincey in today’s paper. You can read it here. The chart didn’t make it in, so I’ll post it here. It might help you form an opinion (I see both sides): Q-FACTOR Based on average ice time and offensive production, Kyle Quincey is the Avalanche’s most valuable defenseman. Yet, the 26-year-old was a healthy scratch the last four games, after missing two because of injury. The Avs are carrying eight defensemen.
