NHL Draft 2020: Rangers get Alexis Lafreniere at No. 1; complete results for all 217 picks

The Rangers hope to have picked a franchise cornerstone in Alexis Lafreniere

Just over a week after the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup, the first major step of the offseason came to an end with the first round of the 2020 NHL Draft on Tuesday. The New York Rangers won the NHL Draft Lottery earlier this summer and used the pick to select Quebec Major Junior Hockey League star Alexis Lafreniere.

Lafreniere has spent the last three seasons starring for Rimouski Océanic. He was the No. 1 pick in the 2017 QMJHL Draft and burst onto the scene with 42 goals in 60 games. To put that into perspective, Lafreniere had the highest number of goals in a rookie season since Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby scored 54 for Rimouski Oceanic in 2004. In his three seasons in the QMJHL, Lafreniere has accumulated 297 points (114 goals & 183 assists) and blossomed into one of the most dangerous young players in the world.

Many believe that Lafreniere is a generational talent that will become one of the NHL's biggest stars sooner rather than later. The Rangers will look to pair Lafreniere with a nucleus that already includes the likes of Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad.

Rounding out the top five was Quinton Byfield, who became the highest drafted black player in NHL history when the Los Angeles Kings selected him No. 2 overall, German international Tim Stutzle, who got drafted by the Senators, Lucas Raymond (Detroit Red Wings) and top American prospect Jake Sanderson (Senators).

Hendrix LaPierre was once considered a top-10 talent, but a myriad of injuries has muddied the waters on whether his pro career will blossom. The Capitals selected him with the 22nd pick, and many have deemed this player a wild card in terms of potential. He was cleared in April to come back and play, for what it's worth.

The Calgary Flames are trading their No. 22 pick to the Washington Capitals for picks No. 24 and 80. The Caps are now on the clock.
