The Ottawa Senators have had varied success in the NHL Draft, particularly in the top five, with notable selections like Brady Tkachuk (4th, 2018), Tim Stützle (3rd, 2020), and Jake Sanderson (5th, 2020) emerging as foundational players. Other top picks include Jason Spezza (2nd, 2001) and Chris Phillips (1st, 1996), while Alexandre Daigle (1st, 1993) remains a cautionary tale of unmet expectations.
