"Sens NHL Prospect Pool Power Ranking: ___
Sensational Summer Prospect Happenings
The three main prospect happenings this summer for the Ottawa Senators were:
The Robin Lehner Trade: I like Robin Lehner but Ottawa just could not keep three NHL goalies. The return for Robin was good for the depressed goalie market – a first round pick in 2015.
The 2015 NHL Draft: The Ottawa Senators drafted three of my personal favourites so, needless to say, I thought the Senators did particularly well. My three favourites were:
Colin White: 1st round at 20th – If you like Dylan Larkin or Curtis Lazar, you will love this guy.
Gabriel Gagne: 2nd round at 36th – Huge guy (6’5) with huge potential and an excellent finishing touch.
Christian Jaros: 5th round at 139th – For me, the best defenseman out of Slovakia in the draft. His critics accuse him of having slow feet. While this may be true, I don’t think they are nearly as bad as some of his critics suggest.
The Matt O’Connor Signing: The Matt O’Connor signing may not make much of a difference this year but I suspect it might a few years down the road. This is what Matt told NHL.com after the signing, “I’m a big goalie and I always need to get quicker moving laterally. I think my game really improves working with a good strength coach as well, but (Senators goalie coach) Rick Wamsley will work me hard. He’s a good, hard-nosed guy that’s going to develop my game as a goalie in many aspects like playing the puck, positioning and playing a bit more of an aggressive style.â€
"
In addition to Top 10 highlights the obvious U21 lads already on the roster, plus 5 honourable mentions along with the rest of the 2015 draft class.
As well, "E-Mac's Impact Prospects" are noted along with how the Sens stack up with the rest of the league with respect to their prospect pool.
