Yesterday, Corey Pronman - prospects writer at The Athletic - released his list of Top-50 NHL prospects and there were two names that should look pretty familiar to Colorado Avalanche fans. Both Cale Makar (12) and Conor Timmins (46) were listed among the best drafted prospect in hockey.
The 19-year old defenders have been in the spotlight recently as they helped Team Canada win the gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship earlier this month. Makar led the tournament in scoring by a defenseman and Timmins was Canada’s best all-around defender.
