Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators have five goaltenders under contract for next season: Anton Forsberg, Matt Murray, Joey Daccord, Mads Sogaard and Kevin Mandolese. Filip Gustavsson and Marcus Hogberg are pending RFAs.
Hogberg is likely heading back to Sweden.

Who will the Senators protect for the draft? It would likely be either Daccord or Gustavsson.
