NHL mulling over having the draft in June

Yesterday it was revealed that one of the many things the NHL is considering is going ahead with the NHL Entry Draft in June. Even if they can resume the regular season after and play the playoffs, they will do the draft first.

Interesting. If so, would provide some news/entertainment (relatively speaking) for hockey fans while league sorts out what, if anything, might happen in July/August/September. Process for draft lottery/order of selection and conditional picks would need to be ruled on. https://t.co/A6btAv6Mv5
