We get back to work with the continuation of our 2016 edition of the top 25 Colorado Avalanche under 25. After polling seven of our Avalanche writers, the results showed that number 19 on our list is none other than Denver University star defenseman and captain Will Butcher.
Of the seven ballots submitted, Butcher’s average ranking came in at 19.4, with a high of 17th and low of 21st. Competition at the position and concerns over his signability were large factors in his conservative ranking.
Who is Will Butcher?
Butcher is a player Avs fans should be extremely familiar with by now.
