TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the 2021 NHL Draft is expected to remain in its originally scheduled July time slot. 

"There were numerous obstacles, including NHLPA-related concerns that seemingly trumps the push by several NHL GMs to move the draft to January or 2022," Dreger said a tweet.

The draft is scheduled to be held from July 23-24.

The 2020 NHL Draft was postponed from June to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
