Duncan Siemens: Headed for free agency
Siemens wasn't extended a qualifying offer from the Avalanche on Monday and will now become an unrestricted free agent, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.
Siemens played in a career-high 16 games for the Avalanche this past season, though he logged just two total points, 23 PIM and 22 hits. That wasn't enough to bet a qualifying offer and the 24-year-old will now be able to sign anywhere July 1 as an unrestricted free agent. Siemens' physical presence should earn him a look elsewhere, though he's not guaranteed to find anything more than a minor role.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Roughs it up in 2017-18
Siemens recorded two points, 23 PIM and 22 hits while logging 12:19 TOI through 16 games in 2017-18.
Siemens was also able to play in five games during the Stanley Cup playoffs. He played in Games 2 through 4 because Samuel Girard suffered an upper-body injury, and Siemens play was good enough to make David Warsofsky a healthy scratch for Games 5 and 6. The 24-year-old blueliner will be a restricted free agent this summer, and his physical presence could earn him a job on the bottom defensive pairing next year.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Making best of small role
Siemens has managed to stick with the Avalanche following his Feb. 13 recall from AHL San Antonio, notching two points and 14 blocked shots over a five-game span.
Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has sent Siemens to the ice for just 13:34 per game on average, but the 6-foot-3, 210-pound blueliner seems to be holding his own in limited action. Siemens was the 11th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, leaving select fantasy owners in keeper/dynasty settings antsy to see what he can bring to the table in an expanded role.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Recalled by big club
The Avalanche recalled Siemens from AHL San Antonio on Tuesday.
Colorado sent Andrei Mironov to the minors in a corresponding move, so Siemens will take over as the big club's seventh defenseman for the time being. The 2011 first-round pick has only totaled one goal and seven points in 45 games with AHL San Antonio this campaign, so he'll likely have a tough time producing any offense at the next level.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Sent down to minors
Siemens was demoted to AHL San Antonio on Wednesday.
Siemens heads back to the Rampage having logged just 6:58 of ice time in one game during his stint in the NHL. Rather than having him watch from the press box, the team will see him suit up in the minors, where he has tallied one goal and two assists in 20 outings this season. Selected 11th overall in the 2011 NHL Draft, the blueliner will likely spend the bulk of the year in the minors.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Promoted to big club
The Avalanche recalled Siemens from AHL San Antonio on Tuesday.
The Avalanche only had six healthy defensemen on their roster prior to Siemens' promotion, so he'll round out the team's blue-line depth until Patrik Nemeth (undisclosed) is activated off injured reserve. The 2011 first-round pick has notched one goal and two assists in 20 games with Colorado's AHL affiliate this campaign.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Waived by Colorado
Siemens was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on Friday, James Mirtle of The Athletic Toronto reports.
Siemens hasn't panned out after the Avs selected the left-shooting defenseman 11th overall in the 2011 draft, though he did amass 190 PIM over the last two seasons with AHL San Antonio. Assuming he clears waivers, look for the 24-year-old to head back to the Rampage to start the 2017-18 season.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Re-ups for one-year
Siemens agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on Tuesday.
Selected 11th overall in the 2011 NHL Draft, Siemens has managed just four games with the Avs thus far. Given the two-way nature of the 23-year-old's deal, he could spend the bulk of the 2017-18 campaign in the minors. In four years in the AHL, the blueliner has never approached the offensive numbers he put up in juniors -- 43 points during the 2010-11 season -- and is close to being labeled a bust, if he isn't already.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Reassigned to AHL
Siemens was sent down to AHL San Antonio on Sunday.
The 23-year-old only slotted into three NHL games this year, and his six points in 69 AHL games don't inspire much hope for an offensive explosion in the near future.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Earns first recall of season
Siemens has been recalled from AHL San Antonio.
Siemens makes his first trip to the big club as the Avalanche prepare for the last four games of the season. The 23-year-old has just six points in 69 games for the AHL's Rampage, but he's also been something of a bruiser with 88 penalty minutes. He's projected to skate with Cody Goloubef for Tuesday's game against the Blackhawks.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Heads to waiver wire
Siemens was placed on waivers by Colorado on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Siemens, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2011 draft, is known more for his stay-at-home, defensive prowess than his offensive playmaking ability. Over the last two seasons between AHL Lake Erie and AHL San Antonio, the 23-year-old blueliner recorded one goal and 12 assists over 107 games. He'll likely return to the Rampage to start the upcoming campaign if he passes through his waiver period unclaimed.

Avalanche's Duncan Siemens: Re-ups with Avs for another year
The Avalanche re-signed Siemens for one year Friday, TSN reports.
It takes a special type of player to boast a 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame and still be graceful on his feet, but Siemens is actually known to be a pretty good skater. The shutdown defenseman played for AHL San Antonio last season, having pitched in one goal, six assists, and 90 PIM in 53 games. According to General Fanager, his contract is two-way, with him making $874,125 at the NHL level and $70,000 in the likely event that he's utilized in the minors.
