2020 NHL Draft: News On An Early June Draft Or Not Could Today … GMs Comment On The Scouting Process

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Teams may not like the early June draft, but the governors are more likely to accept the NHL’s proposal for business reasons.

Pierre LeBrun: There is some confusion with regards to the NHL’s memo with the draft proposal that they sent out on Friday. Some teams could be looking for clarification on the alter or fixing the conditional trades for the 2020 draft. The Board of Governors have a call today. There is no GM call scheduled for this week.

J.D. Burke: Spoke with an executive yesterday who thinks the draft will be going forward in early June with an announcement coming as early as today or Tuesday.
