Ottawa Senators pipeline

The Ottawa Senators pipeline is ranked 24th by Puck Pipeline. Due to the fact that Ottawa has been bad since the Stone-Karlsson era, they have been able to amass a load of young assets in the form of draft picks and prospects. They have essentially turned over their entire organization and at this point it still doesn't seem like it's enough. Ottawa's asset management throughout this dark period has been amongst the worst in the entire league. The Senators were one of the worst teams in the league, and yet in back-to-back seasons, they felt the need to acquire guys like Alex DeBrincat and Jakob Chychrun, which costed them in total 5 draft picks (two 1sts, two 2nds, and a third). Kevin Korchinski and Daniil But were subsequently drafted with those two 1st round picks. Both players didn't even last two full seasons with the Sens, and were then traded for pennies on the dollar for what they were acquired for. At this point, between the poor asset management, and poor drafting, Ottawa still seems like a player or two away from being a contending team. They still have a lot of young talent on the current roster, with a few more notable prospects on the way, but the deep pipeline is beginning to dry up in Ottawa.
