There continues to be uncertainty surrounding whether the 2019-20 NHL season will resume and when the draft will take place.

Sportsnet'sElliotte Friedman reported the draft could still take place in late June, even if the league is still suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. The draft was originally scheduled to take place June 26-27, and perhaps it still will.

The top prospects in this year's draft class haven't changed, although they didn't have their final opportunities to impress NHL scouts. Still, it's been clear who the top players are in the group, led by talented left winger Alexis Lafreniere.
