The Colorado Avalanche have the #16 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. GM Joe Sakic has stated he’ll use that selection on the “best player available.”
As I keep saying, I hope the plan is to pick the best player available for need. If that’s the case, the Avalanche are sure to pick a winger.
Right now, Colorado has a lot of players who play all three forward positions. For true wingers, they had seven last season. Of those players, three might not return.
That’s not to say that the player Colorado chooses at #16 is going to make an impact this upcoming season.
