If he's choosing the Avs he is looking a bit further out than this season. Avs projected top RWs are Iginla and Tanguay. That will leave him fighting for at best 3rd line, but he'll be up against McGinn / Mitchell / Briere, all proven NHLers. However the Avs are arguably one of the shallowest team's in the league when it comes to Winger prospects. Given the age of the guys at the top of the RW depth chart and the talent level of players he will get to play with (eventually) I think the Avs would be a good fit for him.
