The NHL is hoping to convince teams that the league should move the 2020 draft to early June and hold it virtually, according to a report.
ESPN said Saturday that it obtained a memo sent by deputy commissioner Bill Daly to teams that laid out the benefits of holding the draft in early June. It currently is scheduled for June 26-27 in Montreal.
“We don’t want to have a situation where we’re shoehorning a draft lottery or a draft into a very short window of time, which we may be faced with,” he said in a radio interview that aired Friday. NHL governors are scheduled to take part in a conference call on Monday. A decision about the draft schedule could come as early as next week.
