Peter, you're up with the Ottawa Senators
0:03
Seventh overall, we'll see what Dayton has to say with your pick here. So again, the Senators are pretty much set up front
0:11
You know, they got a lot of their main cores up right now
0:15
They got a lot of depth pieces that can move up and be interchangeable in the bottom six
0:19
But the defense is still a bit of a question mark, mainly because aside from Jake Sanderson
0:25
they don't have, they have a lot of great names on the left side
0:30
but none on the right. And they could really use a dynamic puck mover in what they
0:35
in what many teams can see in Zane Parak. I am going to go with him as a pick because mainly you can have Jake Sanderson
0:44
as that, you know, steady two-way type of presence that could still rush the puck
0:49
But Zane Parak is all offense. You know, he's very dynamic in transition
0:54
has got the ability to walk the line very well and basically open things up
0:57
so that he could carry the puck himself into those open, into the open ice and spaces
1:03
Very deceptive, really great shot, especially from along the half wall on his strong side
1:10
You know, he's very dangerous, he's very lethal, and he can be very deceptive from that far out
1:16
Again, there are going to be some question marks about his defensive game and inconsistencies around there
1:21
But, you know, you don't have a lot of substance on the right hand side, and he will bolster that and give you a really strong tandem
1:28
in Sanderson and Parak for the future. That, I mean, I'll go to you, Dayton
1:35
What do you think about that pick? No, I think that's a solid pick
1:39
The right side of the Senators' defense is pretty weak. You don't have a lot of guys who can move the puck really well
1:47
It's either long shot guys or defensive specialists is what they have in their system
1:55
And none project to be top two guys. Parak could be a top two guy
2:00
He's really good, like really, really good shot. I think a little bit on the one dimensional side
2:06
So he'll need someone to balance him out, putting him with a Sanderson
2:10
that would help balance out. And I think that could make a really, really deadly tandem
2:16
He's also been compared to Eric Carlson, which I think is a positive mark
2:21
especially for the Senators, who were able to turn a one dimensional defenseman into a future Norris winner
2:27
Not with them, of course, because that's not how the luck works for the Senators
2:34
Talk about mildly cursed teams. Not as cursed as some others, but
2:41
still pretty cursed. Yeah, I think for the guys who are left on the board
2:45
that's one of the best picks, for sure
