The 2020 NHL draft will certainly be different. Team scouts didn't have a full season of evaluation, and there won't be a combine. Player interviews will be done over video chats. And we still don't even know exactly when the draft will be held.
But this much we do know: The top of the class is as exciting as ever, though there might be less consensus than usual further down the line, especially after the first 15 or so prospects. Then opinions vary greatly among team scouts and draft evaluators. There should be some midround gems in this class, but the gap between the players in the top tier and the next group seems a bit more severe than in years not affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
