Day two of the draft is already underway and the Avs have made two picks as I write this.
With the 33rd overall pick they chose Ryan O'Reilly, a forward with the Erie Otters. He's put up some decent points in his two seasons with them and he was a beast during the combine. (midway down)
With pick #49 the Avalanche went with Stefan Elliot, a defenseman with our very own Saskatoon Blades. Elliot can put up points but he's certainly not deficient in his own end. He's one of those players that's so smooth, you don't even notice how he's contributing. Elliot will be a big part of the Blades this season and I'll be watching him closely now that he's part of the mother organization.
And a nice job by Hockey's Future to already have those players linked up with the Avs!

Sweet, now we have an excuse to go to a Blades game. Seeing as it seems that people need an excuse to go to one.
As soon as our season tickets come in, I'm circling the Blades-Rockets games for you and me (Tyson Barrie plays for Kelowna and Avs grabbed him in round 3)
