The Ottawa Senators will have to choose between some important pieces to protect, including a likely decision between veteran forwards Austin Watson and Evgenii Dadonov
With the NHL Expansion Draft taking place on the 21st of July, the Ottawa Senators will have some interesting decisions to make when they release their protected list. This has been a hot topic throughout Sens Twitter over the past few days and there are valid arguments to protect/expose either player, I’m sure the Senators front office has been mulling this decision.
