The Colorado Avalanche would have the following selections if the 2020 NHL Draft took place according to the current standings:
#27
#80
#120
#151
#167
#213
That’s a pretty decent haul for a team that’s more about challenging for the Cup now rather than building for the future.
Well, in this strangest of seasons, the draft could take place before the current season is over. The NHL sent out position papers to all 31 NHL teams about the possibility of holding a June draft. This comes about 10 days after the NHL held a conference call with those same GMs.
