Avalanche land first pick, Popeye’s kid is coming
The Avalanche have secured the first pick in the upcoming NHL draft via the lottery held tonight.
This is huge news for the club which fired its head coach yesterday.
Seth Jones, the son of Popeye Jones who was playing for the Nuggets when Seth was born, is widely considered to be the top NHL prospect available.
Drafting Jones could be the beginning of a new era in Avalanche hockey – and a new era is something Avalanche Hockey badly needs.
