The first round of the Colorado Avalanche’s 2017 NHL Draft is over. The team wanted defenseman Miro Heiskanen, but they ended up with defenseman Cale Makar. Only time will tell how that plays out.
I predicted the Avs wouldn’t choose a defenseman in the first round. Turns out I was wrong. Well, now I’m going to use this new information to predict who the Colorado Avalanche select with their second round selection, #32.
This pick seems pretty important for the team. As Avs amateur scout Alan Hepple pointed out, the first pick in the second round is almost a first round pick.
