After the NHL Draft lottery was announced on June 26th, it was determined that one of the teams participating in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers will receive the #1 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. This means the Blackhawks still have a chance to select the next generational talent, Alexis Lafreniere.
Alexis Lafreniere has been a name on every NHL general manager’s radar for the past couple of seasons. Touted as the next generational talent to be drafted into the league, Lafreniere has dominated during his time with Rimouski Océanic of the QMJHL.
