Alexis Lafreniere has created some separation between himself and other NHL prospects in the hunt to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft.
The Canadian winger has been lauded for his skill set at 18 years old, and he has a handful of honors to back up his claim to the No. 1 pick.
Lafreniere's status will be tested by Quinton Byfield, a left-handed center, who is also drawing rave reviews for his performances in the Canadian youth leagues.
The pair appear to be the best options for the Detroit Red Wings, who currently hold the worst record in the NHL.
