The 2019-20 NHL season has been one to forget for teams such as the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators, but they may have the opportunity to change their long-term fortunes during the draft.
According to Tankathon, the Red Wings are projected to land the No. 1 overall pick, while the Senators are projected to land the Nos. 2 and 3 selections with the latter coming from the San Jose Sharks.
That will mean a chance to draft top prospects such as Alexis Lafreniere, Quinton Byfield and Jamie Drysdale.
