2017 NHL Draft: Colorado Avalanche Select Conor Timmins at #32

hockeynow.caThe Avs take another RHD with the first pick in the 2nd round. Conor Timmins is a 6’1 183# defenseman from the Soo Greyhounds in the OHL who racked up 7G/54A last season.

Timmins joins Cale Makar and Nic Meloche as righty Ds in the Avs system along with prospects like Mironov and Lindholm that play on the right side as leftys. He’s in the mold the Avs are pursuing now as a good skater and puckmover that can provide offense as well as being solid defensively.
