The Colorado Avalanche might have a new darkhorse candidate for the fourth-overall position, though he’s more of a Shetland pony. The diminutive winger, Cole Caufield, just climbed the ranks to reach the #4 position on Craig Button’s draft rankings for TSN.
The Avalanche have two picks in the first round of the 2019 NHL Draft. The first is at #4, and the second is their own, #16. The top two draftees are set, Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko. So, as GM Joe Sakic said, the draft starts at #3, which belongs to the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Avs have a lot of options at that #4 position.
