The focus of Ottawa's 2020 draft will surely be picks No. 3 and No. 5. But with 11 more picks to work with, the Senators should have plenty of opportunity to make some deals to better their first-round haul and address roster needs. (via HockeyScanner)

draft plan has centred around their first two picks, at third and fifth overall.

On a Zoom call this week, Dorion hinted strongly that he is open for business as far as moving some of those draft picks. It’s challenging to be specific with these types of transactions because they are so fluid, and depend on how things progress at the draft. But for fun, and because this is what we do as GM for a day, we will suggest a few examples of deals that could make sense, based on teams needing to shed players and to acquire draft picks.

Ottawa has made enquiries on Murray and Pittsburgh GM Jim Rutherford is believed to be looking for a first-round pick for this quality goalie and character person with vast playoff experience. In the 2016 Cup run, Murray started 21 games and won 15. Murray is still just 26, a restricted free agent.
