TRADE ALERT!

The Ottawa Senators have traded their 96^th overall pick in this year’s draft and their seventh round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft to the Washington Capitals in exchange for the 93^rd overall in this year’s draft.

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 93^rd overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select forward Blake Vanek from Stillwater High of the USHS-MN.

Blake Vanek

Round 3, pick 93.

Position: Forward

Shoots: Right

Club: Stillwater High, USHS-MN

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 193 lbs

Birthplace: Stillwater, Minnesota

2024-25 stats: 29 GP, 22 G, 31 A, 53 PTS

"Blake Vanek has a wicked shot, the size to grow into a power forward style, and creative hands that can break a pair of ankles in one-on-ones. Vanek’s primary method of production came from working into backdoor and cross-slot efforts. He plants his feet, is practically immovable, wins inside positioning, and protects the puck with his imposing frame." - EliteProspects

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 97th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select Goaltender Lucas Beckman from the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the QMJHL.

Lucas Beckman

Round 4, pick 97.

Position: Goaltender

Catches: Left

Club: Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 194 lbs

Birthplace: Montreal, Quebec

2024-25 stats: 52 GP, 2.65 GAA, .914 SV%, (31-18-2)

“Beckman’s game consists of controlled movement that helps showcase his innate ability to stay square to shooters. By positioning himself centered to the puck, Beckman doesn’t give much space for shooters to look at. Beckman also showed incredible reaction ability.” - David Phillips, Future Considerations

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 149^th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select forward Dmitri Isayev from Avto Yekaterinburg of the MHL.

Dmitri Isayev

Round 5, pick 149.

Position: Forward

Shoots: Right

Club: Avto Yekaterinburg, MHL

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 148 lbs

Birthplace: Togliatti, Russia

2024-25 stats: 44 GP, 22 G, 23 A, 45 PTS

“At every stop of his young career, Isayev has produced. His dominance was especially present at the Russian U16 and U17 levels, but his strong play has continued in the MHL this year. He scored 22 goals and finished with 45 points for Avto Yekaterinburg, with four points in five playoff games. Isayev is impressive in many areas, namely, his tenacity and determination. He never takes a play off and gives 110 percent when going for a loose puck. Isayev flies up and down the ice, with and without the puck. He takes these skills and turns them into dangerous offensive play.” - Nick Orr, Dobber Prospects

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 181^st overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select forward Bruno Idzan from the Lincoln Stars of the USHL.

Bruno Idzan

Round 6, pick 181.

Position: Forward

Shoots: Left

Club: Lincoln Stars, USHL

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 195 lbs

Birthplace: Zagreb, Croatia

2024-25 stats: 36 GP, 22 G, 22 A, 44 PTS

"Idžan combines shooting skill with spurts of playmaking, checking skills, and defensive ability. He hammers one-timers through the goaltender and snipes off the rush with explosive outside leg wristers. Yet, he’s somehow always gets open, slipping behind the defence, across, and timing his dashes into the slot for chances." - EliteProspects

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 213^th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select goaltender Andrei Trofimov from the Stalnye Lisy Magnitogorsk of the MHL.

Andrei Trofimov

Round 7, pick 213.

Position: Goaltender

Catches: Left

Club: Stalnye Lisy Magnitogorsk, MHL

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 170 lbs

Birthplace: Magnitogorsk, Russia

2024-25 stats: 26 GP, 2.10 GAA, .929 SV%, (13-7-2)

"Andrei Trofimov fits the mould of many of the Russian goalies in this draft class. Slightly undersized, strong numbers in the MHL this season, technically sound with strong edge work." - EliteProspects

That wraps up the 2025 NHL Draft!

Today’s picks:

Blake Vanek (Round 3, pick 93)

Lucas Beckman (Round 4, pick 97)

Dmitri Iyasev (Round 5, pick 149)

Andrei Trofimov (Round 7, pick 213)
