A resurfaced video shows Ottawa Senators GM Steve Staios receiving a trade call during the NHL Draft, where the Pittsburgh Penguins offered an unknown roster player for the 25th overall pick. The Penguins, who had just drafted Liam Ruck at 22, were likely targeting his brother Marcus, ultimately selected at 39. Potential trade candidates from Pittsburgh include Thomas Novak and Justin Brazeau, with Brazeau fitting Ottawa’s need for scoring depth. The Senators later acquired André Burakovsky, indicating a focus on enhancing their forward lineup.
