Colorado Avalanche Prospect Conor Timmins is putting on a show in the OHL

When the Colorado Avalanche went into the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, everyone knew they’d be looking to come away with a blue chip defensive prospect. Now, thanks to Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds defenseman Conor Timmins, it looks like they might have left the draft with two.

Before the season started, I wrote that Conor Timmins would be the best defenseman in the OHL this season, and over the past month, that’s exactly what he’s been.

Selected with the first pick in the second round of last year’s draft, Timmins instantly jumped to the top of the Avs’ CHL prospect list.
