July 2024 – Pitner was selected 185th overall by the Colorado Avalanche. Mark Henry
June 2024 – Pitner may have had his chain snatched at the top of the Youngstown line-up, but he’s adapted in-stride and has landed as one of the more projectable shutdown defenders in the draft. He brings a whole arsenal of defensive tools, through his physicality, IQ and stickwork. Pitner’s offensive game comes and goes but there’s a panic in it that keeps Pitner from exercising it. Luckily, the University of Denver has a great track record with players of his profile. Pitner will have plenty to look forward to and can provide sneaky value as early as the third round.
