This year has been a roller coaster for the junior hockey landscape. Leagues didn’t start on time, there were long pauses and many had limited play. Now, with less than a month before the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, teams are trying to make sense of this past year in order to sift through a chaotic draft class.
The Colorado Avalanche will have the 27th pick in the draft and like last year, they will have to wait through most of the first round to see who is still on the board when they take the podium.
One option that might be availible at that pick is forward Zachary L’Heureux of the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL.
