It's never fun to watch your beloved hockey team go through a tailspin during the middle of the season. Yet, not all hope is lost; you do get a relatively high draft pick out of the situation. For the second time in the past three years, the Colorado Avalanche find themselves with a top three draft pick. With only six picks in the draft, Colorado needs to make both of their first round picks count.
2010 Recap
The Avalanche caused quite the stir when they selected Joey Hishon with the 17th overall pick, but at least early on, the Avs look like they made a smart selection. Hishon led his Owen Sound Attack team in scoring during the regular season and helped lead his club to a Memorial Cup appearance.
Second round pick Calvin Pickard showed his stamina as he faced the most shots of any other goaltender, last season, in the Western Hockey League. Pickard, along with fellow draftee Sami Aittokallio, maintain long term hopes as best options for the answer in goal for the Avalanche.
In the third round, the Avs selected center Michael Bournival. Bournival, who shows signs of being a third line forward on the next level, had his rights traded to the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Ryan O'Byrne.
The Avs sacrificed a future third round pick in order to draft Belleville Bulls (OHL) defenseman Stephen Silas in the fourth round. Silas' offensive production took a dip, but his development was effected by a poor Belleville squad.
The Avalanche snagged a couple of Portland Winterhawks (WHL) in the fifth round in Troy Rutkowski and Luke Walker. Rutkowski was second in team scoring for defensemen with 47 points; a slight improvement over his previous season. Walker signed an entry level contract during training camp and spent the year with the Lake Erie Monsters; putting up 18 points in his first full season as a professional.
The Avalanche wrapped up the draft by picking up Arizona native Luke Moffatt in the seventh round. Moffatt spent most of his freshman campaign as a bottom six forward and conributed with 13 points in 36 games and made it all the way to the Frozen Four.
Draft Position
In addition to the second overall pick, the Avalanche also own the rights to the 11th overall selection in the draft. Colorado also owns draft picks in the fourth (93rd overall), fifth (123rd overall), sixth (153rd overall), and seventh (183rd overall) rounds. Colorado's second and third round picks belong to the St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders respectively.
Trends
Position Drafted:
Forwards -- 16
Defensemen -- 13
Goaltenders -- 8
League Drafted:
QMJHL -- 4
OHL -- 7
WHL -- 6
NCAA -- 4
USNTDP/USHL --9
High School -- 3
Europe -- 4
Origin Drafted:
Canada -- 19
United States -- 14
Europe -- 4
The Avalanche have selected 37 players between the 2006 and 2010 NHL Entry Drafts. While the Avs do have scouts in Europe, 89 percent of the players that they have drafted have been North American. European players that have been selected, tend to come in the mid to late rounds. The Avalanche profess to target the best player available, regardless of position. The Avalanche value character, skill, and work ethic. Yet, with all things being equal, the Avs may opt for a player in North America over a European player due to transfer agreements with certain countries. Also, drafting more college or college bound players allows an organization to potentially evaluate a player up to four years before committing on a contract.
First Round Prediction
With the top part of the draft being more wide open than in recent years; projecting the top choice for clubs has been a bit more difficult, but more exciting. Red Deer Rebels (WHL) forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the consensus top pick, but there is a chance the Edmonton Oilers, who hold the top selection, may opt for Swedish defenseman Adam Larsson. As for the Avalanche, they have been rumored to be selecting any one of Gabriel Landeskog, Adam Larsson, or Jonathan Huberdeau.
Prediction for the 2nd overall pick -- Jonathan Huberdeau
While the Avs certainly value character, they seem to value skill most of all. Huberdeau is perhaps the most skilled player of the high end prospects outside of Nugent-Hopkins. The position of the player will not scare off the Avalanche.
Prediction for the 11th overall pick -- Jamie Oleksiak
The Avs can go in several directions with this pick, perhaps even trade it for a player that can help now. Oleksiak is intriguing because of his size, and he would differ from the small puck moving defensemen the Avs have favored over the last few years. Oleksiak would allow the Avs the luxury of having him spend at least a couple of seasons in a strong nurturing college enviornment.

I’ve decided I’ll grudgingly accept Huberdeau at #2, though it is my strong preference that we go for Larsson. What I don’t want to see is us drafting Landeskog. I love him as a player, but I just don’t want to see us spend a #2 pick on him. If we were at 3-5, sure.
Lando is going to be a player for sure, but we really need to be swinging for the fences here.

Agree; Larsson is the most valuable player on the board
Big, fast-skating and skilled defensemen (or defencemen in Canada) are very hard to come by. EJ is one, but we need another . . . and we have plenty of forwards/centermen (or centremen in Canada).

I was going to make a post about this but I’m too lazy to, most of the time I hate guys out of nowhere. This is why you pay your scouts, was this an aberration or can he be this good or better? Was he a late bloomer now beginning to ‘get it’? I think when you’re a scout you have to take the next year out of the equation. In 2 or three year who would you rather have?

The scouts comment that switched me to the Huber camp was “Every time we seem him, he shows us something more”. So it seems that they did notice him but became more and more impressed as they continued to watch him play. The fact is, he’s been super consistent ever since he’s had a large role on the team (last year’s playoffs). To me, that’s not coming out of nowhere for a kid that’s close to being eligible for next years draft. The goals I’ve seen him make were no flukes. The kid has serious talent, that most in this draft do not.
I would be stunned to see I’d actually pick eleventh.
Have we drafted Larsson yet?

I had a feeling that the Avs would take Larsson. BPA. Our defense should be pretty good if he plays (isn’t there something out on him going back to the SEL?).

I don’t know if I’m the only person to feel this way, but I keep getting the ookie feeling that if the Avs skip Landeskog like many of us hope they will, that he’s going to erupt and become a ridiculous goal-scorer that no one thought possible. Just a feeling that’s been growing on me the last couple days…

if Huberdeau can be the next sakic or Larsson the next lidstrom, I can live with it.

I like Huberdeau but I’m just not comfortable taking him at #2 with players like Landeskog and Larsson on the board. Huberdeau may be a late bloomer but this was his only big season. Yes he had a good playoffs but people forget that he had the large majority of his points in the first round against a very weak team. He scored a total of 4 goals the rest of the way. I’ll have to find it but one of the sites did a comparison and Huberdeau was more dot an opportunistic scorer than say Couturier. Then again the same could be said of RNH and his PP feasting but I feel everyone is just TOO high on Huberdeau and his potential NHL production. Also I put up a post detailing the top scorers in the NHL and their junior numbers and they ALL (minus the power forwards) had very good Junior “careers” prior to being drafted. Hubderdeau, last season, produced about half what the top skilled forwards produced. Love to see him be the first top 40 scorer who came out of nowhere but track record is important

I suppose it all comes down to Pracey’s decision, and I know that’s a conclusion everyone has come to at least 50 times throughout this entire time leading up to the draft tonight. I guess I just have to trust him like everyone else. I’m just sooo excited to see the future of the Avs unfold before our very eyes!
"Yeah, that's the wurst."
Hubs is not a late bloomer, he’s really young. Couturier is in his 3rd junior season, and Hubs is in his first. That doesn’t make him any less of a risk, but it does speak to his upside.

by Busted Twigg on Jun 24, 2011 9:47 AM MDT up reply actions
I should have been more descriptive, by late bloomer I meant in his development. You are just using Couturier as a comparison but I was trying to use the ENTIRE top scorers (60+ point scored this season) who had more than one season in Juniors prior to being drafted. Outside of the “power” forwards, EVERY single one produced at least around twice as much as Huberdeau did the year prior to his draft year. Sure you can use the “he’s really young” in any debate but there were plenty of the top 40 scorers who were “really young” their draft year. I would love to see Huberdeau be a point per game star player but he is more likely a 60-70 point guy. Everyone aiming for higher should probably curtail their expectations
Languishing for Landeskog
Who in this draft, with the possible exception of RNH, is a likely 60-70 point guy? If there is another one, I will be surprised.

Hubderdeau, last season, produced about half what the top skilled forwards produced.
Same with Landeskog. He only scored 10 more points than Huberdeau did last year. That’s not much of a difference at all. And Huberdeau didn’t have much of a role on his team, until the playoffs, where he scored around 1 point per game.
Power forwards develop differently (as I detailed in my fan post). Both Hubs and Landeskog were in similar situations/roles. It’s not like Landeskog played two seasons ago with Skinner and Morin on his line and Hubs played bottom 6 on his team. There is always the chance Hubs develops and adjusts his game to be successful as a PPG player (on a solid team) but it is more likely he is around a 60-70 point player in normal situations.
Languishing for Landeskog
I don’t buy that at all. All players develop differently. You just happened to find some that support your argument.
some?
EVERY single forward (with over 60 points this season/top 40 scorer) who played more than one season in Canadian Juniors prior to drafting had a very productive season prior to their draft season. The only ones who had ok ones were the “power” guys.
Languishing for Landeskog
A power-forward is nothing more than a description of a player’s style of play. Giving somebody this description is entirely subjective and open to debate. There is no definitive line drawn that makes one a power-forward vs skilled forward vs. perimeter forward etc… So, you basically hand-picked who you thought was a power-forward vs. whatever. However, none of these players are the same, each one is entirely unique and will have different development curves.
I don't get you sometimes...
you clearly love your stats and skilled players so I provided a complete breakdown of the top point producers in the NHL (that spent time in the Canadian Juniors) and noted that every single one of them had very very good numbers prior to their draft year. The only guys who did not where the ones who play a “power” game… guys like Iginla, Getzlaf, Stewart, etc.
If you can’t say they play a “power” game then what would you call it? I stated an aberration stood out in the “study” and that aberration was top to bottom was players who play a power game. It’s not like I made a list and the aberration was Staal, Ryan, and Skinner and decided to label it “average skaters” or something (not saying they are).
It’s just a quick little study that produced interesting stats. I wish there was a player like Tanguay or Richards, etc who fell into the aberration but they don’t. I understand your defense and the reasoning you want to create a defense to it (Huberdeau) but I thought it would be an interesting item to look at.
Languishing for Landeskog
You can’t dispute a stat though. You can dispute a players style. Many players are a mix of several styles. You can’t just throw everyone into a bucket and say that they’ll all have the same development curve. Why not use hair color, or weight, or what day they were born on? That’s at least less subjective than playing style. But no matter what you use, you’ll be able to find a meaningless trend.
$$$$ All of this.

by Sandie Gauthier on Jun 24, 2011 10:53 AM MDT up reply actions
I'm confused
You seem to be discounting Huberdeau b/c he doesn’t have two years of high quality junior play, but (unless I’m mistaken) he has only 1 year of junior play under his belt. So wouldn’t his evaluation be incomplete?
I guess it seems you’re comparing everyone 1,2 or 3 years of junior to his 1 year of junior and the year prior (whichever league that was). It seems like an unfair comparison.
he is a second year player
like most junior players drafted. A few highly regarded players may have a 3rd season prior to being drafted.
Languishing for Landeskog
I just have the awful feeling that Landeskog may be the next Neeley.

Skipping Landeskog would be a mistake. Now hear me out, I know he’s gotten some knocks lately because “his size is what helped him succeed at a junior level and nhl players are bigger.” But frankly, i dont see this as a big problem. Landeskog isnt huge, you dont draft him because of his size and his size isnt what makes him a solid #2 pick. You draft Landeskog because unlike guys like Jones, Stoa, Galiardi etc. Landeskog knows how to USE the body he has, how to play a hard game in front of the net and how to body up on the boards. You draft Landeskog because regardless of his size compared to junior players, he knows how to and is willing to use the body. You draft him because he has all the intangibles of a winner, of a two way forward, a leader and a competitor. And you draft him because he is an excellent skater who will fit as an excellent compliment to our fast forwards like Duchene and Hishon.
Fact is, Landeskog has been a top ranked pick in this draft all year, and he blew the combine out of the water. By all accounts he’s going to be a solid top 2 winger and potential NHL captain. I dont see that as any waste of a #2.

Ever since the olympics when I thought he tore it up I have been a fan of his. I think I wouldn’t mind that trade, hell I would even throw in Yip.

I’m still hoping for Landeskog. Even if he has a lower ceiling, if he’s playing with Stastny, he’ll still score goals. He’s a finisher, and we need one of those. It’s not that he’s more skilled or less skilled than the playmakers…. just different skilled. Plus, I can’t shake the feeling that he could be our long-term captain.
Hubs would be great too because of those hands. When he fills out, even if it’s only to Fleischmann sized, he’s going to be a great player. He’s my second choice.
Larsson is good too, and we need defenseman. But I guess I have issues taking defensemen this high. They’re always more of a risk, and I’ve not been THAT impressed with what I’ve seen of Larsson on the ice or in interviews. I’m sure he’ll be great if we take him, but I’d much rather see us come home with one of the forwards.

If LeBrun is right that Winnipeg is debating announcing their team name, that to me means it’s not the Jets. If it was they would just do it. If they aren’t naming it that, they know that the new name will be the talk of the draft and take away from their picks. At least I think.

I’ve seen several reports that he wants to go back to Alberta. Sounds like Oilers are first choice, but the Flames jumped in on it quickly. I thought I saw something about Regehr being asked by the Flames to waive his no trade so he could be moved to Buffalo so the Flames could free up space for Smyth. No, I don’t believe everything I read, but saw these in several places.

Isn’t Ryan Smyth agreeing to be dealt to Calgary just a giant “fuck you” to Edmonton?
Also, why would Smyth want to leave the Kings after yesterday’s moves? He can’t tough out one more year on a team that’s actually a Stanley Cup contender?

He asked to be traded to Edmonton, so I doubt it’s a big FU to them. From what I heard he wanted to go back to Alberta. There are only two teams in Alberta, so if the Kings couldn’t work out a trade to the Oilers that only leaves the Flames. My guess is he just doesn’t like big city American life.
For some of us, Murphy's Law isn't so much a law, as it is a way of life!
And by the way, he asked for the trade two months ago. So he wouldn’t have known about the moves the Kings were going to make.

That’s true.
My new outlandish hope is that the Oilers fuck up and take LArsson, then the Panther’s offer the same deal to move up to 2 and take RNH, so we move down, take Huberdeau, and trade the #11 pick for Bernier.
That would mean that from the #2 and #11 picks the Avs get Bernier, Huberdeau and David Booth, which would be incredible…and unlikely.

3.) Jonathan Herpaderp – Panthers
4.) Gabriel Landeskog – Devils
5.) Dougie Hamilton – Islanders
6.) Sean Coutorier – Sens
7.) Ryan Strome – Jets

9.) Ryan Murphy – Bruins
10.) Sven Barteschi – Mild
11.) Mark Scheifele – Kings

Kadri
Kulemin
Scrivens
30th overall
Avs get a replacement for Duchene, a winger to play alongside Stastny, their future goaltender, and with the 30th overall a good prospect.
Much better deal than what Richards returned. Fair since Duchene has the potential to be better than Richards.
Why in gods name would you want to trade Duchene?

Since Sherman took office the Avalanche have traded away Wolski, Liles, Stewart, Shattenkirk, Hannan and in return they have Eric Johnson. An injured Peter Mueller, a doubtful to be signed Fleischmann, Kevin Porter and Jay McClement.

And, considering it’s the second pick in the 2nd round, Sherman’s bad too. Obviously having the 11th pick is great, but when you have Stewart, Shatty and our 2nd this year, the trade really doesn’t look quite as good. Just the players, or just Stewart and the 2nd would have looked much better.
