Nate Guenin

Playing in his first full NHL campaign in 2013-14, Guenin recorded nine points (one goal, eight assists) while skating to a plus-3 and finishing third on the Avs in blocked shots with 128. The 31-year-old minor league journeyman finally found a permanent home last year in Denver after spending six seasons bouncing around on four different organizations while playing in a combined 32 NHL games during that span. Guenin's definitely paid his dues and his usefulness in the penalty-killing department helped make him a regular with the Avs, as he finished second on the time in short-handed ice time with 2:48 per game behind fellow d-man Jan Hejda. His PK value to the Avs doesn't translate to fantasy, however, so Guenin shouldn't garner much attention unless he experiences a sudden renaissance in his play and/or the Avs blueline gets decimated by injuries.
