Colorado Avalanche: What a Virtual NHL Draft Might Look Like
The Colorado Avalanche have six selections in the 2020 NHL draft. They may have to make them virtually because of the COVID-19 restrictions.
The Colorado Avalanche don’t have very good draft rankings this year. If you use the current standings, they’re #3 in the entire NHL, so they’d have the #29 draft pick. If you rollback to 68, they’re #2 in the NHL, so #30.
Nonetheless, they do have some draft picks so they can replenish their depth:
1st round
3rd round (Toronto’s — Nazem Kadri trade)
4th round
5th round
6th round (Florida’s — Derrick Brassard trade)
7th round
Colorado doesn’t have a second round pick this year because they gave it up for Andre Burakovsky.
