Now that the Stanley Cup has been awarded and the 2019-20 season officially comes to a close, the Carolina Hurricanes and the rest of the NHL turn their attention to the entry draft. The first round of the draft will be held on Oct. 6 beginning at 7 p.m. and the subsequent rounds will all occur the next day on Oct. 7.
The draft was originally planned to be held at the Bell Centre in Montreal, but due to the pandemic changes, the event has made its way to the digital stage.
Typically the draft is held inside the host city’s arena with all 31 team’s draft tables set up in the center of the arena.
