I’m not going to pretend to be a draft expert, so I won’t bore you with generic scouting reports on the players selected by the Colorado Avalanche past the first round. However, the draft wasn’t all about the draft for the Avs as they made arguably the biggest trade of the weekend and shook up their forward units in a big way. Let’s recap.
Colorado Avalanche selects Mikko Rantanen with the 10th Overall Pick
Avs management probably felt pretty fortunate that the number-one rated European prospect was still on the board at #10. Rantanen is a big forward that could be on the team as early as this upcoming season.
