While it doesn’t really consider traded picks, this is a blight on the Avs’ ability to draft outside of the top 10.

Wow that’s seems pretty bad
I think this is where you can really tell who scouts well internationally – the CHL and other NA leagues are so heavily covered and more easily accessed, I’d be willing to bet (blindly) that the majority of the players making up these games come from overseas, who are probably seen quite a bit less and tougher to project.
I’d be curious to learn what the philosophy is there for the Avs, because it hasn’t been working out too well. We hit big on the picks we really needed to hit on, and the pro scouts are excellent, but you need to find guys through the draft to keep the window open as a Cup contender.
Cute infographic and all, but it’s not really pertinent to how the Avs built a Cup contender.
More than one way to skin a cat.
Weirdly antithetical to the Nuggets and Broncos path to success, funny enough.
