The Colorado Avalanche scouts are sure to be hard at work looking at all the prospects coming up in the 2020 NHL Draft. Everything is unusual this year, and the draft probably isn’t even taking place until late September or early October — gives a whole new meaning to the lament, “Is it October yet?”
NHL scouts have a lot more time to consider the prospects this season. unfortunately, that fact probably won’t help them too much. The prospects aren’t playing, and there probably won’t be a Scouting Combine. By the time GMs call in their selections this year, memories of specific prospects will be fuzzy.
