With the 2019 NHL draft just a couple of weeks away the Colorado Avalanche will be in the process of finalizing their draft lists. While any immediate needs the team has will be addressed during free agency, the draft is a time to build for the future. Could Nils Höglander be part of that?
The Avalanche have two picks in the first round. Here the full list:
#4 (from Ottawa)
#16
#47
#62 (also from Ottawa)
#78
#140
#171
#202
Nils Höglander certainly isn’t a 4th pick player, but he could be worth investing in with their 16th.
