LAS VEGAS — The Colorado Avalanche is suddenly flush with goaltending prospects and University of Denver players.
Colorado selected goaltender Ilya Nabokov with the No. 38 pick Saturday morning at the 2024 NHL draft inside The Sphere. Nabokov was the Avs’ first selection of this draft and the first goalie off the board in this class.
They added a pair of goalies later in the draft as well, addressing a position that was particularly thin on the organization depth chart.
The Colorado Rockies have the third overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft on July 14. It will be their highest pick since they selected infielder Brendan Rodgers with the No. 3 pick in 2015.
Over the last 10 drafts, the Rockies have had hits and misses with their top selection:

On July 14, the Rockies will take a home run swing. They can’t afford to whiff.
The Rockies own the third overall pick in a draft featuring two intriguing starting pitchers and some tantalizing power hitters at the top of the class. This draft gives the self-described draft-and-develop organization a golden opportunity to select a player who can help lift the franchise out of the cellar and become a star and fan favorite.
General manager Bill Schmidt always plays it close to the vest when discussing whom the Rockies might select, but he’s not being coy when he says, “We are simply looking for the best player.”

“That’s what we always try to do,” the executive said.
Your faithful pals on the Grading The Week crew are gamers and, full disclosure, have a love affair with EA Sports that goes back four decades now. (Tom Chambers’ “Fake Drive 2-Hand Slam” on “Bulls vs. Lakers” is still the most fun, unstoppable SEGA hoops move known to man, no matter what “NBA Jam” enthusiasts say.)
But our crack staff was more than a little confused to see during the social reveals for EA Sports College Football 25, which drops on July 19, that the eighth highest-rated offense in the popular video game, ahead of Clemson, Penn State, Ole Miss, Arizona, Notre Dame, Florida State and Oklahoma was … your CU Buffs.
Which we sort of get, on one hand.
