Joe Sacco of the Colorado Avalanche and Barry Trotz of the Nashville Predators were the other two finalists.

DENVER (AP) -After hitting the jackpot with two high picks in the draft last June, the Colorado Avalanche feel the pressure to replicate that this summer.

Hardly easy.

Those two players they selected weren't your typical teenagers.

From now on, every Colorado draft pick will be measured against Matt Duchene (third overall) and Ryan O'Reilly (No. 33).

up to 18 months in jail if convicted. There is precedent for this type of criminal charge in Canada. Todd Bertuzzi, then with the Vancouver Canucks, was suspended for 17 months by the NHL after a blindside sucker punch to the head of former Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore in 2004. Moore suffered three broken vertebra in his neck and a high grade concussion, ending his hockey career.

And although they will be well coached by New York Islanders bench boss Scott Gordon and Joe Sacco of the Colorado Avalanche, the lack of skilled forwards looks to be another cause for worry. It would be unrealistic to expect the U.S. to medal in Germany, but if one of its goalies can step up while the rest of the team plays a hard-checking, fast- paced American
