Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: The NHL sent out a memo to teams out the possibility of hosting the 2020 NHL draft in early June.
Some teams were saying that the NHL is “really trying to convince us” and others “this is terrible” but the biggest response maybe that “It sure reads like, this is what we are doing… get used to it.”
June 5th is the rumored date and final decision could be early this week.
Issues with conditional picks – the league would give seven days for the teams to address the condition or take the NHL’s idea.
