Given the Avs’ struggles and Jost’s success at North Dakota and with Team Canada at the World Junior Championship, the NHL team likely will persuade Jost to sign his entry-level contract in the weeks following his 19th birthday on March 17.
The St. Patrick’s Day-born Jost will be one-and-done at North Dakota.
