It’s Early December So Let’s Talk Possible Draft Picks

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

...here are my top 10 prospects, as things currently stand, for the 2020 NHL Draft.

1. Alexis Lafreniere, left wing, 6-foot-1, 192 pounds (Rimouski, Quebec junior league): Lafreniere generally has been regarded as the best player in this draft class for several years. He’s an elite stickhandler who can make the hockey highlights with his wizardy with the puck. Scouts like his competitive edge, but there are some reservations about Lafreniere’s skating and speed.

“Lafreniere can finish the plays or he can make the plays,” said Craig Button, TSN director of scouting, last month.
