Alexis Lafrenière To Play In EUROPE Next Season? 2020 NHL Entry Draft Top Prospects News & Rumours



On the most recent TSN Insider Trading segment, Bob McKenzie spoke about the uncertainties with both the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and the 2020-2021 NHL season, and how this may shape up in relation to the 2020 NHL top prospects. Alexis Lafrenière in particular is an interesting one, as there’s no certainty that his QMJHL team—the Rimouski Océanic—let alone the entire CHL is going to return for the fall hockey season. McKenzie then notes how Lafrenière’s agent is willing to take a look at all playing options in the fall, including the potential of playing in Europe, in leagues like the SHL, the NLA, the Czech Extraliga, the Liiga, or the DEL.

    I mean. Even if CHL would start again, would it be the best for him? In Europe he could try adult hockey Even before draft with better competition than in chl

  2. AFG

    He should just get drafted now, has a chance at going to Montreal

  3. Erik

    I hope he comes to Sweden. It would be interesting to be able to compare him to Raymond and Holtz. Now it is kind of hard to know how big of a difference there is since they play in such different leagues. I think it would be really nice to see how good he would be in the SHL.

    OHL/WHL is not worth his time. On an NHL roster then possible AHL his second season if he experiences some delays in development.

    I would love watching Martha, Bertuzzi, Lafrienier, and Bedard all playing in Detroit !!! Yeah baby !!! Wouldn't that just piss off Baitman!!! D
