Looking Ahead At The Top 2020 NHL Draft Prospects

The projected #1 overall pick in 2020 plays as a left wing for the Rimouski Océanic of the QMJHL. Lafrenière is very swift on his skates, has an excellent shot and has astonishing hand to eye coordination. Lafrenière is looking like a generational talent and I see no huge problems in his game. He currently has 36 goals and 67 assists for 103 points in 60 games. He also played with Canada at the World Juniors.

Pro Comparison (Not skill based, just similar play styles): Artemi Panarin

Noel Gunler

The Swedish right winger has shot up the 2020 draft rankings.
