Vegas Golden Knights: Full order of picks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft

Find out exactly where the Vegas Golden Knights will be picking in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

One of the most important and notable events in the National Hockey League calendar is nearly upon us, and all eyes will be on what the Vegas Golden Knights do at the 2020 NHL Draft.

Of course, and as with everything else in this strange year, the 2020 Draft will be like no other before it with proceedings to take place virtually.

It will be weird and it will be interesting to see what the NHL has come up for in terms of making the Draft an entertaining made-for-TV product.

They hit a home run with how they presented the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and all eyes will be on the NHL on Tuesday with the First Round set to start at 4:00 p.m. PT.

You can watch all the action and all the drama unfold on NBCSN.

Rounds 2-7 will then take place the following day on Wednesday, with coverage throughout the day on the NHL Network from 8:30 a.m. PT.

As far as the Golden Knights are concerned it should be a busy couple of days.

They currently have the No. 29 overall pick and, according to General Manager Kelly McCrimmon, Vegas will select the best player available talent wise.

Given how deep this draft is the Knights should be able to select a high-end prospect with their late First Round pick.

The Golden Knights hold five picks in total but currently don’t have any selections in the Second Round, or the Fourth and Fifth Rounds.

That could change with a trade or two, of course.

Let us map out all five Golden Knights picks for you in order:

• First Round – No. 29
• Third Round – No. 68 (Acquired from the New Jersey Devils)
• Third Round – No. 91
• Sixth Round – No. 184
• Seventh Round – No. 215

Vegas’ first Third Round pick was acquired as part of the Nikita Gusev trade, while they traded away their Second Round selection to the LA Kings in order to acquire veteran defenseman Alec Martinez prior to the 2020 Trade Deadline.

The Golden Knights’ fourth round pick went to the Toronto Maple Leafs as part of that Garret Sparks for David Clarkson trade last summer, while the Leafs also get Vegas’ fifth round pick for taking on some of Robin Lehner‘s salary in that stunning Trade Deadline move.

Despite only having five picks at their disposal, there is enough talent in this Draft for the Golden Knights to be able to bolster their pipeline further, and they should be able to pick up a real high-end talent at the end of the First Round.

Before we go, let’s run through the complete order of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft…
