Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet: The Ottawa Senators are guaranteed two picks in the top-six, and at best they could hold the No. 1 and No. 2 picks. The Senators have stockpiled picks for this draft, with three first-round picks and nine picks in the first three rounds.
GM Pierre Dorion wouldn’t say if they will try to package some picks and move up in the draft.
“We are going to follow that plan, we are not going to rush things, we are going to do things properly,” Dorion said. “And that is part of having long term success and building a championship calibre team in Ottawa if we do the right thing here with this draft.
