Tonight is the first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. It will take place virtually and get underway shortly after 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
Keep updated here as we will update the draft picks (and the draft order, if there are any more trades) in real time.
While the very top of the draft is suspense-free, as the Rangers are expected to take Alexis Lafreniere, there is very little that can be confirmed after that in this year’s unprecedented circumstances.
