Ottawa Senators Mock Draft
National Hockey League Mock Draft • 2026 Season
Ottawa Senators Draft Analysis
Heading into the draft, the Ottawa Senators find themselves at a pivotal moment, needing to solidify their roster as they aim to return to playoff contention. With a promising young core that includes players like Tim Stützle and Brady Tkachuk, the Senators must address their defensive depth, particularly at right defense, while also looking for a versatile forward who can enhance their scoring capability. The integration of a franchise-caliber player into their lineup could be the spark that elevates Ottawa to a consistent playoff team.
Keaton Verhoeff stands out as a prime target for Ottawa, given his elite two-way game and potential as a franchise defenseman, filling a critical gap on the right side of their blue line. Additionally, Ethan Belchetz, a power forward with elite complementary skills, could provide the Senators with a physical presence and scoring touch that would complement their current forwards effectively. Lastly, Ivar Stenberg offers the versatility of playing center while demonstrating top-tier two-way capabilities, potentially shaping him into a future leader for the franchise. Each of these prospects aligns well with Ottawa's immediate needs and long-term vision.
