Sens Draft Eight High-Risk Prospects | NHL News

The Ottawa Senators just pulled off a bold, risky draft that’s got analysts scratching their heads — and handing out mostly C’s. After eight new prospects, they’ve traded safety for potential, betting big on raw talent with high ceilings. First-round picks Jonas Lagerberg Hoen (ACL rehabber, Forsberg-esque) and Jaxon Cover (journeyman with upside) are long-term projects. The third round added depth with Adam Nemec (OHL scorer), Oscar Holmertz (SHL standout, no points but elite talent), and Louis-Felix Bourque (developing shot). Fourth-round goalie Elliot Lennon (6’6”, prep school phenom) and fifth-round defenseman Harris Pangretitsch (hard-hitting with finesse) bring project-player energy. Sixth-round pick Alexander Grunin (Russian puck-mover) rounds out a draft that signals a new era — daring, unproven, but potentially transformative for Ottawa.
