Drafted fourth overall in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection draft - one pick after fellow Colorado Avalanche prospect Travis Barron - Brandon Saigeon hasn’t quite lived up to the hype that surrounded him at the start of his junior career. Now, the 20-year old looks to prove that he has put in the work necessary to carve out a professional career for himself.
Coming off of an appearance in the Memorial Cup, the Avalanche made Saigeon the 140th pick in last months’ draft after he had been passed over in his first two draft eligible years.
