Uncover the Shocking Draft Blunders and Hidden Gems Unveiled for Every NHL Team This Decade
Ottawa Senators
Best: Tim Stützle
The Senators have spent the last near decade accumulating talent through the draft. But Stützle carries the highest superstar potential of them all. A standout pick from a stellar 2020 draft class for the Senators. He’s the team’s de facto No. 1 center, creating offense with his dynamic play and skill and is actively improving his defensive game.
Worst: Tyler Boucher
The Sens have only one player drafted after 2020 who has played NHL games. (Zack Ostapchuk, now in San Jose). There’s not much time for Boucher to turn his game around, and he hasn’t shown enough promise to justify taking him 10th overall in 2021. There are other Sens draft duds in the last decade, but none drafted higher than Boucher. Wyatt Johnston, Cole Sillinger and Matt Coronato were available. — Julian McKenzie
