41. Martin Skoula

From the Czech Republic, Marin Skoula was a 1998 First Round Pick who would make his debut for the Colorado Avalanche the following year. 

Playing at Defense, Skoula was a defensive stalwart for Colorado for the first four and a half seasons of his career, and he would post personal bests of 10 Goals and 31 Points in the 2001-02 season.  Skoula was also a member of the 2001 Stanely Cup Championship team, the second in franchise history.  Skoula was a stable force in the Avalanche's power play, but never forgot his end of the ice.
