Avalanche development camp invitee Michael Davies fully intends to return to the University of Denver for his senior season.
But that’s also what former teammate Logan O’Connor said a year ago.
O’Connor, who was scheduled to captain the Pioneers as a senior in 2018-19, impressed the Avs at the 2018 development camp and went on to sign a maximum entry-level contract with the NHL team as an undrafted free agent three weeks later. He played five games for the Avs and 64 for their American Hockey League affiliate, the Loveland-based Colorado Eagles.
O’Connor, 22, could become a regular for the Avs next season.
