After what can only be described as an absolutely insane 2020 NHL Draft Lottery, the Ottawa Senators now hold the 3rd and 5th overall picks in this year’s draft.
While Alexis Lafreniere will almost certainly end up with an undetermined play-in team, it’s still a great situation for Ottawa. Their own pick dropped all the way down to fifth overall, which may be the most Ottawa thing ever, but the San Jose Sharks selection acquired in the Erik Karlsson trade nets the Sens the third overall choice in this year’s draft.
