As it stands at the moment the Colorado Avalanche look pretty solid when it comes to defencemen. With Cale Makar joining the team during the postseason the defensive core now has a healthy mix of young talent and established veterans. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Joe Sakic won’t be looking to the future, though, and it’s entirely possible we could see a young defenceman like Philip Broberg getting picked up in the first round.
As a reminder, these are the picks the Avalanche have at the 2019 Draft:
#4 (from Ottawa)
#16
#47
#62 (also from Ottawa)
#78
#140
#171
#202
I can’t see Broberg going as high as the 4th pick but he could be a solid choice for the 16th.
