2. Michael McLeod

Team: Mississauga Steelheads, OHL

Age: 18 years old     Size: 6-foot-2, 187 pounds

Last season: 57 games played, 21 goals, 40 assists

The way the Avs struggled to find the back of the net this past season makes Michael McLeod someone to be heavily considered by Colorado in this year’s draft. McLeod is a speedy playmaker with decent size who can see scoring scenarios before they develop. This allows him to set up his teammates for easy, high-percentage goals.

When McLeod isn’t setting his teammates up for goals, his quick shot release is accurate and hard, making him a threat from all areas of the zone.

Many mock drafts and predictions have McLeod landing with the Avalanche, and Colorado would be lucky to get him. Highly skilled, high IQ and a competitive spirit makes Michael McLeod a perfect option for the 10th-overall pick.
