Even though the 2020 NHL draft is months away, there is a consensus regarding which prospect should be taken No. 1 overall.

Canadian left winger Alexis Lafreniere has topped the majority of mock drafts and prospect lists due to his all-around skill set.

If the NHL draft lottery ends up with no surprises, the Detroit Red Wings would land the opening pick of the selection process.

The Ottawa Senators, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks would also be part of a group of teams with the best odds to land the top choice.
