Finally, summer seems to be slackening its vice grip on hockey, and specifically the Colorado Avalanche.
With the NHL draft set to take place at the end of the week on June 24th and 25th in Buffalo, New York — at the First Niagara Center — it’s time for the Colorado Avalanche to hone in on their first round selection.
Michael McLeod could possibly be that selection, and the power center and gifted two-way forward would immediately bolster the prospect depth the Avalanche have at the forward position.
Before we begin, here’s a list of the other profiles we’ve done at MHS:
C/LW Kieffer Bellows
LW/RW Alexander Nylander
As you may have noticed, there aren’t many defensemen on the list and although no one at MHS knew this at the time of picking the profiles to consider — according to the Denver Post, Joe Sakic has recently announced that he will be focusing on forwards in the draft.
