Colorado Avalanche: Eeli Tolvanen Would Shoot to Kill

The Colorado Avalanche are going to look to the 2017 NHL Draft to improve their roster both next season and for the future. The team has a 17.936% chance at the first-overall in the Draft Lottery, which takes place April 29, at 6 pm MDT.

Colorado is guaranteed to fall no lower than #4 in the Draft Lottery. If the Avalanche get the #1 or #2 pick, it’s almost guaranteed Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier will be skating in burgundy and blue next year. After that, it’s a toss-up.

Finnish forward Eeli Tolvanen is a highly rated prospect that I suspect the Colorado Avalanche are considering.
