Sens take Joel Daccord with 199th Pick

With their final pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, the Ottawa Senators selected Joel Daccord from Cushing Academy High School. Selecting a goalie straight out of high school seems like a high risk, high reward gamble.

At this stage, your guess is as good as mine as to how Daccord turns out. If I had to wager, I might say he'll be OK.
