Senators’ Best Late-Round Steals Say Plenty About Smart Scouting

Ottawa’s best late-round draft picks are a reminder that the league still hands out gold after the early rounds are over. The Senators have found value where plenty of teams saw long shots, and that kind of work usually starts with patient scouting and a little front-office nerve. These are the picks that can quietly change a franchise’s depth chart and save a GM from paying premium prices later. When a team keeps finding players after the spotlight fades, that is usually not luck.
