Clocking in at #12 in our list as the third 2018 draftee to be featured, Jonathan Tychonick was selected 48th overall by the Sens, using the extra pick obtained by trading down with the New York Rangers. From a personal standpoint, Tychonick was my favourite pick to come out of Ottawa’s draft, as he was someone that Ary and I had deemed a player worth considering to be chosen at pick #22.
Playing his draft season for the Penticton Vees in the BCHL, Tychonick put up 47 points in 48 games, which ranked comfortably in 1st place for points-per-game amongst U18 defencemen (and 3rd amongst all U18 skaters).
