## Resource

Draft expert Brad Francis joins AJ Haefele & Rudo of the DNVR Avalanche Podcast to break down the Colorado Avalanche’s top 5 potential targets in the 2026 NHL Draft, including Yegor Rybkin, Vladimir Dravecky, Tomas Galvas, Egor Barabanov, and Andre Mondoux. With the Avs not picking until the third round, the crew looks at which prospects fit Colorado’s draft trends, from elite-skating defensemen to high-upside goalies and late-round sleepers. Who should the Avalanche target to strengthen their prospect pool and find hidden value on Day 2 of the NHL Draft?
