With the NHL entry draft in Montreal first up in the order of the offseason events the Colorado Avalanche still celebrating their Stanley Cup victory will take a backseat in the festivities holding only four draft picks. Unless moves are made their 2022 draft class will be headed by the last pick in the third round at 97th overall plus the 161st, 193rd, and 225th pick in rounds five through seven.
Still, there’s promise of adding talent to the organization and therefore it is an essential opportunity for the Avalanche this week. They will first be on the clock on Friday, July 8th following the first round which concludes the night prior.
