Just over a week after Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup, the first major off-season move ended with the first round of the NHL 2020 Draft on Tuesday. The New York Rangers won the NHL Draft Lottery earlier this summer and used the selection to select Quebec hockey league major star Alexis Lavriniere.
Lavrinier spent the last three seasons at Rimouski Oceanic. It was the # 1 pick on the QMJHL Draft 2017 and he took off the scene with 42 goals in 60 matches. To put that into perspective, Lavriniere scored the most goals in a junior season since Pittsburgh Penguins star Sydney Crosby scored 54 for Rimuski Oceanic in 2004. In his three seasons at QMJHL, Lavriniere collected 297 points (114 goals and 183 assists) And it blossomed into one of the most dangerous young players in the world.
Many believe Lafreniere is the talent of the generations who will become one of the biggest stars of the NHL sooner rather than later. Rangers will look to pair Lavriniere with a core that already includes the likes of Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad.
Among the top five was Quinton Bifield, who became the highest-ranked black player in NHL history when he was named to the Los Angeles Kings No. 2 overall, German international Tim Stotzel, who was drafted by Senators, Lucas Raymond (Detroit Red Wings) and the predictor Supreme American Jake Sanderson (Senators).
