G - Ilya Nabokov - 2024 #38

Interesting pick, and it also adds a little more evidence in favor of my pet theory that the Avs don't trust themselves to evaluate goaltenders at the draft. Him being 21 means he's more developed and less risky, and the Avs have to do a lot less work with him in those really critical formative years. So a perfect storm for the Avs scouting/development staff.

Edit: And of course they blow this the f*** up by picking two more goalies in the 5th. :laugh:

Anyone have more insight on him? Should we be expecting a 1B level, similar to Francouz?
