Another draft in the books. Here’s how the MHH crew thinks the Avalanche fared over the weekend in Vancouver:
Did the Colorado Avalanche make the right pick at 4th Overall with defenseman Bowen Byram and center Alex Newhook at 16th Overall?
Jackie: Yes, absolutely. The Avalanche couldn’t have scripted a better first round. Byram brings franchise level top pairing talent who is close to contributing and also was best player available. Newhook needs a bit more refinement but is not far off on upside from the forwards who were in consideration at four.
