The Colorado Avalanche will resume playing hockey some day. The hope for me has always been to see them resume playing hockey this summer to complete the 2019-2020 season and compete in the playoffs.
If that happens, my understanding is that their fourth-overall draft pick from 2019, Bowen Byram, could join them. He signed his professional contract with the Avs last summer and attended the training camp and preseason. He spent the season with his major juniors team, the Vancouver Giants, but he’d be eligible to join the Avalanche when his season ends.
Well, the WHL canceled its season in response to the restrictions placed on gatherings because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
