Tracking the action in the NHL draft day to July 1st

Wow Dorion is crazy excited, says he'll be a top 4 in Ottawa and he's more than confident.

Right there is why they didn't move Spezza today, they didn't need that 1st rounder.

Man I love listening to Dorion. What a passionate guy.

At 6'3" and 190lbs he's got some work to do filling out, but what a steal if he's as good as Dorion is making him out to be. Certainly looks like he's a shutdown defenceman with limited to no offensive abilities.

some good picks for future today. like seeing dorian excited good to see management excited about the future

I was sold the minute the Sens made their picks, hearing Dorion talk makes me excited for sure

Then add in a poor trade for Toronto and all is well.

Here's an article on Gendron:

If Edgars Kulda (teammate of Lazar) is still available in the 7th round, would Ottawa take him?
I can't believe he wasn't selected last draft and so far into the 6th round he's not selected yet.
He looked pretty good to me so what's wrong with him?

I don't know if anyone is listening to the draft or watching, but why didn't Minny pick in the 10th spot in round 6? That was originally with the Sens.

Hey will take somebody from out west IMO, so he is a candidate.

Hearing that the Sens would have taken Englund with a 1st rounder iis refreshing because it means that pick wasn't a wasted asset in any Spezza deal.

Sens just added pick 189. So we have two more picks

Francis Perron... cool

Kelly summers from Carleton place

And Kelly Summers... cooler.

Always love those local picks where probably no one has ever seen them play but the Sens or at least paid any attention. 60 points in that league for a D man is pretty unbelievable. Wonder which university he's planning on attending?

He went to Arizona.

Middleton from the 67's the last pick in the 2014 draft.
