The Avalanche looked to be taking a commonplace gamble on gigantic Swedish forward Gustav Olhaver when they selected him in the 7th round this year. Seventh round picks rarely pan out so teams often swing for the fences with low-probability players or just take the next name on the list, any list, so they can get out of the building and deal with bigger issues.
After a cursory glance, this is exactly what I thought about Olhaver. Bounced around a couple leagues last year, didn't score much and fit the Avs current mania for size throughout the organization.
