It's tough. Because really I'm not sure they are bad enough to keep drafting top 5, and probably not good enough to make the playoffs. So do you try to move out pieces to suck again, or try to bring pieces in to get better at this point?

Chabot, Tkachuk, Batherson, Stutzle, Formenton are nice young pieces already making an impact for the team. Sanderson, Pinto, Greig, Sokolov, Thomson look to be pieces that will come up and supplement the young core.

I think it actually makes sense for the Senators to start adding. Now I think it's fair to question if you think Anderson and Dvorak are the right pieces, especially at the cost of 7th overall.
All nice young pieces but they lack high end talent. I think Sanderson might be the exception of he can grow into a strong #1.

They really f'd up last year by drafting for need, trying to get their "Tom Wilson" with Boucher instead of drafting BPA with a high pick.

And they are now possibly going to compound their bad decision making.
