If he hits, we’ve resolved our biggest gap by far, so we’ll just have to hope the Sens got this one right.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
You can predict with almost near certainty who our scouting staff is going to pick based on who has the most PIM totals.
They are obsessed with toughness and physicality. You'd think they would have learned a lesson from picking Boucher, but apparently not.

Very surprised.
But I’m gonna pretend I’m super excited. And hope I can keep it rolling.

Ok I ran the physical play through my head and like it. Let’s go

Love the pick. He's who I wanted but didn't think we'd actually pick him.

Not my choice at #7 but I know nothing. I would have thought he would have been available later in a trade down scenario but obviously they coveted him. Hope Yakemchuck works for us. Welcome to the Ottawa Senators Carter!
@Sens in Process Santa granted you your wish! I hope you are right about this guy being Jesus reincarnated.

Elite offensive skill and creativity, has size and toughness but questionable skating and defensive awareness

Well - you can't say it's a safe/low-upside pick.

I certainly wasn't expecting this pick and I'm not so enthused but I know nothing. Obviously Staios, as a very solid damn for a long time, sees something he really likes here to not trade down.

Future #1 D. Come at me bro

Fall of Pierre
Hope I'm wrong and he pans out, but there were several others that I would have preferred at his position. Feels like the sens constantly draft guys who accumulate PIMS, and are ranked below their concenus pre draft rankings (which don't always pan out but its better than reaching with top 10 picks.

Sounds like Phaneuf
There's a bit of Phaneuf in his game.
I think if he makes it it'll be more as a two-way D. Offense isn't going to translate that well so he'll need to.
Mark Seidel who’s been accurately predicting picks said we were heavily considering Cole Beaudoin but we didn’t expect Yakemchuk to be there. So we were moving down for Beaudoin if anything.
