TVA Sports' Renaud Lavoie reported on Monday that the NHL could hold its Draft Lottery in a month.
Hearing June 26 is the date that we should have the NHL Lottery Draft. No dates on the NHL Draft yet.

The date for the lottery has yet to be confirmed, but if it were to be held on June 26, that could potentially be before the season even restarts, or at least before the play-in phase is over.
With there obviously being extraordinary circumstances surrounding the potential conclusion of the 2019-20 season, it's still not clear how exactly the draft lottery will work.
