Another draft season as come and gone. The Avalanche made four selections, again dipping into the USHL, and taking bigger centers in this draft. I did feel they left some talent on the table. Opting for overall game over more skilled players. It was a good draft for the Avalanche, with some projects that we hope turn out.
28 – Oskar Olausson, RW/LW, HV71, Sweden
With their first pick the Avs took a powerful skating winger from Sweden. Oskar finds the open ice well, he skates very well, he slows the game down for himself and transitions the puck really well.
