The Colorado Avalanche have drafted right winger Sasha Mutala with their fifth-round pick in the 2019 Draft. Mutala is a 6’1”, 196 lbs forward who scored 20 goals in 65 games for the Tri-City Americans in the WHL in his draft year.
Mutala had a great start to the season, but faded away in the second half. He has a lot of good tools, especially his size and his ability to forecheck. People like his shot, but he needs help getting the puck to him in good areas of the ice. For a fifth-round pick, that’s a good skill set to work from.
