Canadian left winger Alexis Lafreniere is in line to buck a recent trend at the top of the NHL draft.
Since 2013, the No. 1 overall pick has been either a center or defenseman, but that should change with the selection of the 18-year-old in 2020.
If that occurs, he would be first left winger to go first overall since Taylor Hall was chosen by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010.
Lafreniere could be joined in the Top 10 by a few other wingers, including the Swedish pair of Lucas Raymond and Alexander Holtz.
