The Draft Day Trade Offers The Senators Rejected

The Senators have plenty of intriguing storylines as training camp approaches.

In this episode, Steve and Gregg discuss Carter Yakemchuk who now has his best opportunity yet to earn a full-time NHL job, after being one of Ottawa’s final training-camp cuts in each of the past two seasons.

The guys also look at some interesting revelations from the Senators’ latest Breakaway documentary, including the draft-night trade offers Steve Staios turned down from Vancouver and Pittsburgh, where Ottawa had Jonas Lagerberg Hoen ranked internally, and why the Senators selected him before Jaxon Cover.

Plus, who was actually Ottawa’s most improved offensive player last season? We compare the year-over-year points-per-game numbers for Senators players who appeared in at least 50 games in each of the past two seasons.

Also discussed:

• Ottawa’s internal ranking of Jonas Lagerberg Hoen
• The trade package Vancouver offered for the 25th pick
• The mystery Pittsburgh roster player potentially offered to Ottawa
• Which Senators made the biggest offensive improvements last season
