Colorado has the No. 24 pick, could add a long-term prospect or make a move for help now.
Colorado Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland speaks during the team’s end-of-year press conference at Family Sports Center in Centennial, Colorado on Thursday, May 23, 2024. LAS VEGAS — The Colorado Avalanche needs to strengthen the depth chart, either in the short- or long-term, while it could be a record-breaking night for the University of Denver in the first round of the NHL draft.
That hasn’t changed, so it is possible Colorado will look to trade the 24th pick or move back to either add a player who can help the NHL team in 2024-25 or further draft assets that could be part of a future win-now transaction. The Pios also have a few incoming freshmen who could be selected Saturday, when rounds two through seven are completed. Hagen Burrows, Jake Fisher and Tory Pitner are all ranked inside the top 100 of North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting.
