It has been confirmed that the Colorado Avalanche will have the #16 position in the 2018 NHL Draft. While the top-five or so draft picks are pretty clear, numbers coming after pick #10 could go in a number of ways.
The Avalanche have eight picks this year:
- #16
- #47
- #58 (from Nashville)
- #78
- #109
- #140
- #171
- #202
They always pick up a defenseman or three. However, after they scored Cale Makar in the first round and Conor Timmins in the second, it’s hard to say they’ll opt for a defenseman again in the first round.
