Here is a look at the newest prospects of your
Colorado Avalanche:
The draft started great for Colorado, as they used
their early 1st round pick to draft a steal in Filip Forsbe…oh wait.
Nevermind.
Mitchell Heard: The Avs were on fire come the second round however,
as they picked up a promising young Plymouth Whaler (OHL). This prospect was
not present at the draft, and that has Avs brass wondering if Mitchell heard he
was going to be drafted. See what we did there?
Troy Bourke: With the ever popular 72nd pick (3rd
rd), the Avs drafted Troy Bourke, a young two way forward from the Prince
George Cougars (WHL). “They were my favorite team growing up, and I’m really
excited” Bourke said nervously, as he frantically tried to delete his hundreds
of #FireSherman #FireSacco tweets.
Michael Clark: In round 5, the Avs chose Michael Clarke of the
Windsor Spitfires (OHL), a centerman. Because the Avs really need to add depth
to that particular position.
Joseph Blandisi: As round six came and went, the Avs chose another
centerman in Joseph Blandisi, another Ontario prospect. Greg Sherman was quoted
saying he drafted so many Ontarians in an effort to get airtime on Don Cherry’s
Coaches Corner.
Colin Smith was the last player taken by the Avs in
the 2012 entry draft. The shy Kamloops Blazers (WHL) forward was quoted as
saying he was honoured, while hiding behind…pretty much everyone because he’s
only 5’10.
Good luck future Avs!
