The Colorado Avalanche look pretty set at the goalie position for now. However, they’re not even choosing until the late 20s of the first round of the 2020 NHL Draft. If the top-rated goalie of this year’s draft fell to that position, you’ve got to wonder if they wouldn’t be tempted to select him.
That young man would be Yaroslav Askarov out of Russia. Central Scouting has him as the top-rated goalie for European goalies. He’s scouted to go between #5 to #11 in this year’s draft.
Goalies don’t often get drafted that high, though. He could well fall.
