The result of trading away franchise stars Erik Karlsson, Mark Stone, Mike Hoffman and more, is ending up with a ridiculous amount of draft picks. The Ottawa Senators have been stockpiling picks for a while now, and this year it will finally come to fruition.
It’s always a good idea for teams to keep a healthy supply of picks, to keep a steady eye on the future.
