Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen: The Ottawa Senators will be holding on to their first-round pick this year, which is not much of surprise given it will be in the top-five. They Sens would then have to send their 2019 first-round pick to the Avalanche.
The Sens have a 13.5 percent chance of winning the draft lottery on April 28th. The Senators will also receive the Penguins first-round pick from the Derick Brassard trade.
“We’re excited we’ve got two first-round picks this year,” Dorion said.
