This is the Ottawa Senator I believe will be picked by Seattle during the expansion draft.

Somewhere for picks

Here are the most pressing positional needs Ottawa should address at the right opportunity.

1. A #1 centreman if Stutzle is better suited at LW

2. A 2nd line RW that shoots right and is either a power forward or can score goals in bunches.

3. A top 4 RD that shoots right and can play well in a pairing with Chabot if neither Lassi Thomson nor JBD are the answer.

Top targets for Ottawa in the 1st round ranked in order of importance if addressing positional need is the main objective:

X. Matthew Beniers (C) University of Michigan

X. William Eklund (C) Djurgardens

X. Dylan Guenther (RW) Edmonton Oil Kings

X. Brandt Clarke (RD) HC Nove Zamky/Barrie Colts

1. Kent Johnson (C) University of Michigan

2. Fabian Lysell (RW) Lulea

3. Aatu Raty (C) Karpat

However, Ottawa could be going on a winning streak down the stretch to finish out the season.

So what I did was put on an x beside each prospect that could be out of our range if we don't win the lottery.

I've also added three other prospects that Ottawa could choose from to address their needs:

4. Cole Sillinger (C) Sioux Falls Stampede

5. Chaz Lucius (C) University of Minnesota

6. Oskar Olausson (LW/RW) HV71
