The presumptive first overall pick for the 2020 NHL Draft, Lafreniere is training in Boisbriand, QC. Should the NHL not begin its 2020-2021 NHL season in December or January as it tentatively plans to do, Lafreniere and the club that selects him will evaluate all options.
The New York Rangers won the right to select first in the 2020 Draft on Monday during the league's second phase of its NHL Draft Lottery.
