The best story is the Montreal Canadiens getting to select Lafreniere, keeping
the forward prospect in his home province. That's the Hallmark story, and it
will be an amazing consolation prize for the Canadiens if they lose to the
Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers. Montreal has not had the No.
1 pick in the NHL Draft since 1980, when it selected Doug Wickenheiser. The
Canadiens could have had Quebec native Denis Savard or Paul Coffey, too. Either
way, Lafreniere going to Montreal would be the biggest story of the 2020 NHL
Draft. It's too bad he's not a center, because that's where the Canadiens have a
real need, but getting the chance to have a potential generational talent on the
wing would be among the most significant developments for Montreal in a

design long time. The Canadiens, who went 31-31-9 (.500 points percentage)
before the NHL paused the season on March 12 due to concerns about the Kansas
City Royals diy t shirt transfers coronavirus, are the No. 12 seed in the
Eastern Conference. The Penguins (40-23-6, .623) will be the No. 5 seed. What if
Lafreniere, who played for Rimouski in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League,
were to land with the Penguins and potentially get to play with center Sidney
Crosby, who also played for Rimouski? The public explosion of opinions would be
wild, but the options for Pittsburgh will be amazing. The Penguins could have
Lafreniere play with middle Evgeni Malkin, keeping forward Jake Guentzel with
Crosby. Or what about a line that includes Crosby with Lafreniere and Guentzel?
Intriguing. They could possess all four plus defenseman Kris Letang on the power
play, with Lafreniere potentially shooting from his off wing. Another intriguing
consideration may be the Edmonton Oilers losing to the Chicago Blackhawks in the
qualifiers and winning the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery. The Oilers (37-25-9, .585)
are the No. 5 seed in the Western Meeting; the Blackhawks (32-30-8, .514) will
be the No. 12 seed. A draft lottery win would be Edmonton's fifth since 2010; it
used the previous four No. 1 picks to select forward Taylor Hall (2010), center
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (2011), forward Nail Yakupov (2012) and center Connor
McDavid (2015).
Similar to the Penguins, the Oilers would have great choices,
including using Lafreniere with either McDavid or middle Leon Draisaitl. They
could each be a part of the power-play unit. The eight teams that are eliminated
from the best-of-5 qualifiers each will have a chance to win the Simply no. 1
pick based on the results of the first drawing for the draft lottery. A second
drawing will be held after the qualifiers are completed and before the start of
the Stanley Glass Playoffs to determine who will receive the No. 1 choose. Each
of the eliminated teams could have a 12.5
disney heat transfers
percent chance of winning. Training camps, which are part of Phase 3 of the NHL
Return to Play Plan, are expected to open July 10. When Stage 4 begins, at a
date and in two hub cities to be decided, the qualifiers will become played.
