Following the annual NHL lottery, the Ottawa Senators obtained the 7th place for the next draft. However, as we reported to you Tuesday evening, the organization had an important decision to make regarding this choice in question.
Indeed, the Ontario team was punished by the NHL after it was revealed that it had “hidden” information from the Golden Knights concerning details of the contract.Evgenii Dadonov. Therefore, the team must waive one of its first-round picks in 2024, 2025 or 2026.
Having 24 hours following the lottery to make a decision, it is now official: the Senators will appear on the big stage to select a talented young prospect in Las Vegas next June.
This therefore implies that the team will face the same dilemma in 2025, when they will have to determine whether they lose their choice in 2025 or in 2026.
This decision on the part of Michael Andlauer and company is not very surprising, since the Canadian club probably expects to perform better in the next two seasons. Plus, a top 10 pick in the next draft is one that has tremendous value.
Do you think the Senators will use the 7th overall pick to select a prospect or will that asset be traded for immediate help?
do not forget that Pierre Dorion rightly traded a 7th overall pick in return for a certain Alex Debrincatin July 2022.
