Alexis Lafreniere would no longer be first overall if the 2020 draft were held today
It's always fun to redo the order of a draft a few years later. You can see which teams had the compass in their eye and which lacked vision.
For 2020, there are no big surprises, but Alexis Lafreniere would no longer be the first overall pick. While the players coming out of this draft have a maximum of only two years of experience in the NHL, it's still very early to draw any conclusions, but le site bleacherreport.com has nevertheless lent itself to the game and the result is interesting.
1 - New York Rangers: Tim Stutzle (drafted 3rd by the Sens)
2- Los Angeles Kings: Alexis Lafreniere (drafted 1st by the Rangers)
3 - Ottawa Senators: Lucas Raymond (drafted 4th by Detroit)
4 - Detroit Red Wings : Seth Jarvis (drafted 13th by the Hurricanes)
5 - Ottawa Senators: Anton Lundell (drafted 12th by the Panthers)
6 - Anaheim Ducks: Cole Perfetti (drafted 10th by the Jets)
7 - New Jersey Devils: Alexander Holtz (drafted 7th by the Devils)
8 - Buffalo Sabres: Jamie Drysdale (drafted 6th by the Ducks)
9 - Minnesota Wild: Quinton Byfield (drafted 2nd by the Kings)
10 - Winnipeg Jets: Jake Sanderson (drafted 5th by the Sens)
We only have to think of Kaiden Guhle and Justin Barron, who were respectively selected 16th and 25th, to understand how early it is and that the top 10 could change drastically in just a few weeks.
