This really does show and prove how bad Ottawa's drafting has been...
Which period are you talking about precisely? Because there's a lot of various stretches

You named a bunch of nobodies, the only reason most of these guys played NHL games is because we have been a bottom 5 team for the last 7 years lol.
Rectification : Sens were in the ECF game 7 double OT 7 years ago. You meant the last 6 years and also they haven't been botttom-5 in the last 3 seasons
Not that I want to find excuses for Dorion as I am probably his biggest critic but facts need to be exact.\

Of these, the only notable players are Chabot, Batherson, and Pinto.
Everyone else is replacement level lmao.
I would have presented the argument differently but Kleven is not going to be replacement level at all.
Kastelic also is and will be a pretty good 4th line Center. Merilainen is young and has good potential as a goalie. Guenette is interesting too and could end up playing a bunch of NHL games. Donovan also looks like a good prospect so it's too early in several cases.
Formenton would have been quite the middle-six 2-way speedster but it looks like he ruined his own career by being a poor human being (speculation only as we can't talk in absolute on that subject)
Anyway, I can't really add on this as I don't even know which period was targeted by that Echlz statement

Huh??? Sens have one of the worst prospect pools in the league lol. Some of your projections are insane. I've seen Athrin have more sense than you.
It's not one of the worst yet but it's also not entirely on drafting, more because Pierre Dorion is really bad at his job. Most great prospects already graduated in the last few years and Dorion has spent A LOT of capital to acquire some players and also repair a lot of mistakes. Plus, the Boucher and Roger blunders in 2021 (Dorion makes the call when it's a top-10 pick)
I could develop on this but gotta go for now
