The calendar has turned to October.
Normally this month is marked for the start of a new NHL season to get underway. Instead, in 2020, it signifies the start of the offseason. Oct. 6-7 will set the table for NHL franchises for years to come as they select the next generation of talent.
The New York Rangers will kick things off with the No. 1 overall pick, expected to be Rimouski Oceanic winger Alexis Lafreniere, and it’ll keep going until the Tampa Bay Lightning select No. 217.
As the 2020 NHL Draft plays out, Sporting News will track all the picks and keep up with the results in real-time. Below are all of the picks.
