The Ottawa Senators have elected to keep the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft instead of forfeiting it as punishment for the botched Evgenii Dadonov trade between the Vegas Golden Knights and Anaheim Ducks.
Steve Staios says the club won’t forfeit the #7 overall selection as the payment for the Evgenii Dadonov penaltyLast November, the National Hockey League ruled that the Senators must forfeit their own first-round pick in either the 2024, 2025, or 2026 draft as punishment for their role in the invalidated deal between the Golden Knights and Ducks ahead of the 2022 trade deadline.
The Senators relieved Pierre Dorion of his duties as their general manager the same day the league doled out its punishment, with owner Michael Andlauer describing the controversy as the ‘last straw’ for Dorion in Ottawa. The Senators have not made a first-round selection since 2021, when they took Tyler Boucher with the No. 10 pick. Boucher has struggled to remain healthy in the three seasons since he was drafted and managed just five points in 21 AHL games this past season.
