Why don't more NHL teams follow the Avalanche and Golden Knights' win-right-now model?
DENVER — It’s entirely possible that the 30th, 31st or 32nd pick in the 2026 NHL Draft becomes a really good NHL player.Mavrik Bourque was the No. 30 pick in 2020, and he’s a key depth scorer for the Dallas Stars. Joe Veleno was No. 30 in 2018, and he’s been a solid bottom-sixer in the league for years. Eeli Tolvanen was No. 30 in 2017, and he’s carved out a nice career with 92 goals over 423 games. Rickard Rakell was the 30th pick in 2011, and Brock Nelson was the 30th pick in 2010 — both have had excellent careers as top-six mainstays.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
