26. Senators▴1

Spoiler!

Carter Yakemchuk and Logan Hensler give the Senators two legit right-shot D prospects and, in the former, maybe an offensive catalyst if he can put it all together. But a focus on pro-style, pro-built role player types outside of Round 1 over the years has left the rest of Ottawa’s pool with a group of players who could potentially become fourth-liners or depth D — potential bunt singles instead of home runs, if you will.

Tier 1: Yakemchuk(RD, 24' #7)

Tier 2: Hensler(RD, 25' #23), Meriläinen(G, 20' #71), Montgomery(LW, 24' #117), Donovan(LD, 22' #136), Beckner(C, 23' #204), Beckman(G, 25' #97), Reidler(G, 22' #151)

Tier 3: Ellinas(C, 24' #104), Stanley(RD, 23' #108), Moore(LW, 24' #112)

I'm honestly a little surprised we see Ottawa this early. I was sure either Vegas or Tampa is going to be next. That said after Yak, and Hensler Ottawa has a bunch of goalies and not much else.
