Before we get into the 21st player on our Top 25 Avalanche Under 25 list, be sure to check out the list leading up to today: #25 Turner Elson, #24 Andrei Mironov, #23 Sam Henley, #22 Cameron Morrison. Today we focus on #21, Nate Clurman, a sixth-round selection just over a month ago in the NHL Draft.
Clurman is our first player profiled to appear on all seven of the ballots turned in and he averaged a ranking of 22.6. He’s a player with a lot of hype around him after his strong showing at Avalanche development camp but sadly his decision to return to his prep school will keep us from being able to watch him develop in the USHL.
