The Colorado Avalanche are in the thick of things with their Phase 2 in preparation to finish the 2019-20 season, at least the postseason portion of it.
Meanwhile, some NHL teams are getting ready to see where they fall in the draft lottery. I’m so glad the Avalanche can’t lose out on that again.
That said, their scouts are surely working hard on creating draft boards for what’s sure to be a virtual draft in late September or early October. A player that may be in Colorado’s sights is winger Rodion Amirov.
Amirov is a product of the Russian hockey federation.
