TRADE ALERT!

The Ottawa Senators have traded the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to the Nashville Predators in exchange for the 23rd overall pick and the 67th overall pick (round 3) in this year’s draft.

THE PICK IS IN!

With the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators select defenceman Logan Hensler from the University of Wisconsin.

Logan Hensler

Position: Defenceman

Club: University of Wisconsin, NCAA

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 196 lbs

Birthplace: Woodbury, Minnesota

2024-25 stats: 32 GP, 2 G, 10 A, 12 PTS

"Hensler's greatest strength is his rush defense, which is easily among the best in the class. He's proactive in breaking up plays in both the neutral zone and when pinching. Hensler has a very timely defensive stick and closes gaps in a smooth, controlled fashion." - Luke Sweeney, Dobber Prospects

"Hensler is plenty mobile for his size. He's a two-way defenceman with some underlying offence. Hensler is capable of walking the offensive blue line to open up shooting and passing lanes. He's also a big body who can play both sides of the ice. Defenders like Hensler, once they fully develop, are worth their weight in gold at the NHL level." - Jason Bukala, Sportsnet
