Colorado Avalanche Are Playing With House Money
Having Their Cake and Eating It Too
The Colorado Avalanche are in a very unique spot with where the direction of the franchise is going. The team’s record was deemed good enough to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, yet they have assets in the upcoming draft to continue their youth movement.
This upcoming 2019 entry draft will feature the Colorado Avalanche with 2 first round draft picks. As of yesterday, the Avalanche “lost” the lottery dropping to the fourth overall pick. The team also sits in a precarious spot with also being in the playoffs potentially having as low as 16th overall pick as well in the upcoming entry draft.
