The NHL Entry Draft is staying in Canada, as the league announced today that the 2020 draft will be held in Montreal on June 26-27. It was last held there in 2009, but Montreal has a long history with the draft including hosting the first 22 iterations from 1963 to 1984.
Not only will it be a great chance for the Canadiens to host the NHL, but potential first-overall pick Alexis Lafreniere should feel right at home. The talented forward is from close by St-Eustache. Lafreniere recorded 128 points in 74 games this season for the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL, despite being just 17 years old. He’ll hope to follow in the footsteps of the last man picked first in Montreal—John Tavares.
Will be sad to see Alex go the Oliers
the oilers worse then the sens, ducks?
