When it comes to the NHL Draft, it’s not every year where there is a can’t-miss prospect. The Colorado Avalanche have unfortunately had some pretty tough luck for quite some time in terms of prospects turning out to make an impact for them at the NHL level.
The latest disappointment officially took place on Saturday, as the Avalanche traded former first-round pick Oskar Olausson to the San Jose Sharks for prospect Danil Gushchin, who is expected to make an impact at only the AHL level.
Sure, we see prospect trades fairly often.
