Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Citizen: Pierre Dorion remains a busy man these days. Consider that Ottawa has 13 picks in this year’s draft. Also, nine of them are in the first three rounds. That makes Dorion very popular among other general managers whose teams have been eliminated from the bubble.
Ottawa also has two picks in the top five — third and fifth overall. As they wait to see what Los Angeles does at number two, Dorion knows that there are lots of picks to dangle for NHL caliber talent. However, the chatter err offers has not been enticing enough for the general manager to act.
