LBC Mock Draft: Evgeny Svechnikov goes 18th overall to the Ottawa Senators

The Senators taken a dynamic Russian forward with the 18th Pick in the LBC Mock Draft

The Ottawa Senators made a run for the ages to get into the 2015 NHL playoffs. During the regular season, the Sens were 9th in the league in goals-for-per-game, and 13th in goals-against-per-game. Our customary look at the hockey's future (www.hockeysfuture.com) rankings find the Senators sitting at 23rd in the farm system rankings, with noted needs for elite level talent and particular weakness on the blue line. While Ottawa's needs may be down the middle and on defense, the LBC mock draft has left the top player available a wing, and with Ottawa already possessing a variety of possible future role players in their farm system, this is the best option for an impact player.
