If the Colorado Avalanche decide they want to add some physicality to their game they could do worse than German defenseman Moritz Seider. Seider is the only German player predicted to get picked in the first round of the upcoming draft but after an impressive performance at the Pyeongchang Olypmics last year it’s clear that German hockey is on the rise.
The Colorado Avalanche have two picks in the first round:
#4 (from Ottawa)
#16
#47
#62 (also from Ottawa)
#78
#140
#171
#202
Seider likely isn’t a player they’re going to select with their 4th pick, he could be under consideration for their 16th.
