Worry Growing Around the Health of Core Avalanche Defenseman

After a disappointing finish to the 2022-23 season, the Colorado Avalanche come into this year with plenty of optimism, but unfortunately, not all news right now is good for the Avs.

Over the past two years, the Avalanche have gotten some incredible performances out of so many players en route to another Stanley Cup crown, but now, one of those unlikely heroes could be done.

At 31-years of age, there is now speculation growing that veteran defenseman Josh Manson's career may be in jeopardy, as he is dealing with plenty of lingering injury issues.

The latest update on Manson isn't good, as Avalanche writer Evan Rawal revealed that he was skating on his own recently while dealing with a nasty hip injury.

The next update is even worse, as Manson is now reportedly not skating with the team or anyone, and given his history of injuries, combined with missing 55 games a season ago, this could be bad news for the 31-year old.
