The Montreal Canadiens were trending toward a top ten pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. They were supposed to host that event in late June. With the NHL season on pause, and the league still hoping to finish the regular season and have a postseason in the summer, it stands to reason that the draft will be held in September.
However, there is growing speculation that the draft will not only be held in June, but be held the first weekend of June. There are some tough logistical decisions to be made about how to run a draft before the actual season ends.
