NHL:
If Behrens returns strong, what is the timeline to an NHL defense role and which COL players could shift to accommodate him?
Qwiket AI:
Expect a 6-12 month window from return to sustained NHL minutes if he progresses in the AHL. He could push a COL defense partner for minutes as injuries occur. If Behrens shines, other youngsters may shift into the bottom pairing, creating room for him to contribute sooner rather than later.
