The first two rounds for the Ottawa Senators were quite busy, as they had four picks overall. However, after that they were only scheduled to pick in the 4th, 5th, and 7th rounds. But by the end of the day they had made four picks along with the four from the first two rounds.
Why was there the extra pick? Because Eric Gryba was traded to Edmonton for a 4th round pick and Travis Ewanyk. Gryba had been on the block for a while, and the Senators finally got rid of one of their defensemen. Ewanyk was just a contract for the Oilers to trade, and he’s an insignificant piece that will play in the AHL.
