He’ll likely be more of an investment, needing time to develop and adjust to the North American game, but he already looks promising.This is the first target that is arguably a bit of a reach. The top 10 at the draft are all great options for Ottawa – or any team picking in those spots – and there’s really no wrong way to go into the draft. His game is raw in a few areas, but being that he’s already dominated the OHL, he seems primed to become a dominant, powerful center in the NHL if he can put it all together.
While missing out on the top two draft spots hurts, there’s still lots to look forward to as 2020 still boasts one of the deepest first rounds in several years. A season has passed since then, but that nightmare seems like ages ago thanks to the upcoming 2020 NHL Draft. The Ottawa Senators' first-round pick will go to the Colorado Avalanche as the result of a trade on November 5, 2017 that sent Matt Duchene to Ottawa in exchange for Kyle Turris, Shane Bowers, Andrew Hammond, a third-round pick in 2019 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade). However, like with their third pick, it shouldn’t affect the Senators’ strategy too much.
So, if they draft one, the Sens can select the other player. While I am a huge fan of Stutzle – TSN’s Bob McKenzie even suggested he could compete with Lafreniere as the draft’s best winger – Byfield offers more of what the Sens need. Thomas Chabot has proven that he’s the future on the blue line, and along with right-handed shots in their system, the club seem to be in good hands.
With one of those picks, the Senators should target Jamie Drysdale. The 2020 NHL Draft Lottery was close to the worst-case scenario for the Ottawa Senators.
There are some notable weaknesses defensively, and his decision making can be questionable, but all the tools are there for him to become an imposing NHL defender.While the Senators need size and skill on the right side of the blue line, they also need a top defensive defenseman. So, in an effort to do the impossible, here are five players who are likely to be available late on day one, and would make excellent future Senators.There’s a lot to like about Grans. The Red Wings, on the other hand, need help at center and would most likely look to picking either Rossi or Perfetti, giving them a strong second option behind Dylan Larkin.
5 Senators Draft Targets at 21st Overall. The Ottawa Senators are likely to possess two of the top three picks in the 2020 Draft. By Dayton Reimer June 29th, 2020. Share on Facebook. The first round has been advertised as the deepest in years; the top pick will almost certainly be Alexis Lafrenière, but after him, there’s Quinton Byfield, Tim Stutzle, Jamie Drysdale, Alexander Holtz, Lucas Raymond, Marco Rossi, or Cole Perfetti to choose from. Here’s arguably one of the better approaches the club could take at the 2020 NHL draft.Lafreniere is the obvious choice for first overall.
As a testament to his skill, he became one of the highest-scoring teenagers of all time in the DEL this season with 24 points, only 10 less than Stutzle.In every international contest, he has come in third to Stutzle and Peterka in scoring among draft-eligible Germans.

In this article, I will examine four prospective mid-tier free-agent targets that the Senators should pursue once the season concludes.
To pass on either of them would be a huge mistake.There’s really no wrong answer between Stutzle and Byfield, but if they both happen to be available at the third overall pick, the Senators should take Byfield. I believe there’s really no point in debating who they should take in the top-6 since anyone they take will almost certainly become a franchise cornerstone.However, the Senators will have a very difficult choice with their third first-round pick, mainly due to the plethora of options likely available near the end of the first round. The Senators, on the other hand, could afford to take the risk on a player with the potential to become a top-line fixture and not have to worry if it doesn’t pan out.Another player who could fall down to the.If he falls out of the top-20, Mysak would be a great fit for the Senators.
That’s not a bad thing; Reichel has drawn comparisons to Dominik Bokk, who went 25th overall in 2018, after being projected by some to go in the second round, and is now one of the Carolina Hurricanes’ top prospects.
