Avalanche Draft Beckett Hamilton

The Avalanche just pulled off a savvy move, snagging 18-year-old forward Beckett Hamilton with the 74th pick—thanks to a trade that sent Ross Colton to Nashville. Hamilton exploded in his final WHL season, jumping from 25 points to 62 in just 67 games, scoring 24 goals and lighting up the scoreboard in 25 of his last 32 games. Scouts love his right-shot, consistent offense, and this pick marks the Avalanche’s second early-round haul this year—part of their bigger plan to build through young talent.
