As you know, one of the teams that will be eliminated in the playoff qualifier will be ranked first in the NHL Entry Draft.
If the Canadian loses to the Penguins, he will draft either 1st or 9th. Imagine the Canadian pronouncing the name of Alexis Lafrenière. It would just be crazy!
However, several DGs must do the “face” this morning. The Red Wings, who finished last in the NHL with 17 wins, will fish 4th.
The Ottawa Senators, who had a 25% chance of drawing first, were awarded ranks 3 and 5. Not bad, but they still missed something very big.

That said, Pierre Dorion, the Senators’ DG, was absolutely not disappointed. On the contrary…
We are going to draft two players who will be able to have an impact on the Senators for several years. So, we are very excited that these two players will join our organization after the draft (…) We understand the process. We understood it when it started. The team will have lost in the playoff round, so it will not be officially in the playoffs. It makes perfect sense for us that one of these teams chooses first.
– Pierre Dorion
In short, Dorion is absolutely not disappointed. He is anxious to see two young people arrive in his organization, and bet that with the cuvée of 2020, these two skaters will have a big impact in the results of the Senators for many seasons.
A lot of
