After tonight's NHL Draft Lottery at the NHL Network's Secaucus, N.J., studio, the Sens remained where they were slotted at 10th overall.
"This is a good draft and our scouts and the organization is looking forward to selecting a player 10th overall," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. "We know we're going to get a good player that's going to help us have a long successful run for years to come.
"With the 10th overall overall pick we feel that we're going to get an impact player and a quality player that will definitely be able to help us win and someone that is able to jump into our lineup hopefully in the next few years."
