The Colorado Avalanche have two first-round picks in the 2019 NHL Draft and a total of eight picks — they traded their fourth-rounder for Colin Wilson but acquired two of Ottawa’s selections in this draft.
Here is the full list of the Avalanche’s draft picks this year:
#4 (from Ottawa)
#16
#47
#62 (also from Ottawa)
#78
#140
#171
#202
That’s pretty good, especially when you see that fourth-overall. Granted, we wanted it to be higher since Ottawa finished dead last in the NHL, but we all know how the Draft Lottery works by now.
In any case, that fourth-overall is what we’re looking at today.
