16th Overall – Colorado Avalanche: Dominik Bokk (RW, Vaxjo Lakers, SHL)

The Avalanche have had lots of success in recent draft years.

They picked Mikko Rantanen in 2015 and he’s proven to be an incredible selection so far. 2016 first rounder Tyson Jost had a solid first season and Cale Makar is looking like a very good pick so far. After making the playoffs this season, I think the Avalanche are going to go with a very skilled winger.

That winger is Dominik Bokk, who they’ll take at 16th.

A German-born forward, Bokk has lots on his resume that NHL executives and scouts would find attractive. He has experience playing against men in the SHL, and he’s a smooth skater with good size and a good shot. He would be a long-term upgrade to Colorado’s wing.

Bokk scored 41 points in 35 games in the Super Elite league last season, a very impressive total. With a roster of Nathan McKinnon, Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog, Bokk would be a phenomenal addition to Colorado’s forward corps.
