David Pagnotta: From a high-up NHL source: “All things Draft-related are still a work in progress.”
The NHL has still not figured out about when to host the 2020 NHL draft. They are expected to make a decision soon though.
Should the ‘second round’ be a best-of-seven or best-of-five?
Pierre LeBrun: Re-seeding is one issue that needs to be decided on. Another issue is if the first round of the 16-team playoff portion should be a best-of-seven series or if it should be a best-of-five series.
