The 2020 NHL draft is full of uncertainty, including the date it will take place, the order of picks and which prospects will be taken early.

Originally scheduled for June 26-27, the NHL postponed the draft in March, along with the scouting combine and awards show because of the coronavirus pandemic. According to Pierre LeBrun of TSN, the league could have a virtual draft depending on how well things run with the NFL.

The draft order will also change depending on the results of the lottery and whether the 2019-20 season resumes.
