As the Colorado Avalanche ready themselves for the 2019 draft they probably have a good idea who they want for their two first round picks. Who they’ll choose in the second round and beyond is a little more interesting. Lower picks require more development, and may never make it as far as the NHL, but they’re still a worthwhile investment. Tyson Barrie was picked in the third round back in 2009 and now holds several franchise records with the Colorado Avalanche. With later picks the key is the ability to see potential and then to provide the right development opportunities for those players.
