Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet: The Ottawa Senators are armed with plenty of draft picks this year and over the next few years – 28 picks in the next three seasons. They have seven picks in the first three rounds this year.
The Senators also have salary cap space to work with, which makes them a team of interest for others who don’t.
“There have been multiple discussions, more about moving up than moving down, because we have pick 32 and 44,” Dorion said.
With the 19th pick, if they keep it, they’ll likely be looking for a forward or defenseman.
