VGK'25 1st Round Pick
Ottawa Senators
Forfeiting 2025 1st is critical
Here are some things to consider:
1. The 2025 1st can’t be any higher than #17 overall.
2. There are still 8 points left up for grabs for Ottawa, which could make the 2025 1st even lower.
3. If Ottawa wins the first round, Ottawa will still be in the playoffs on the day they need to decide which 1st to forfeit.
4. If Ottawa wins the second round, the 2025 1st would plunge to #29 overall.
5. If Ottawa does not forfeit the 2025 1st and they miss the 2026 playoffs, they would have forfeited a higher 1st.
6. If Ottawa does not forfeit the 2025 1st and they miss the 2026 playoffs, they would miss out on the 2026 draft lottery.
7. If Ottawa does not forfeit the 2025 1st and Ottawa is a Cup Contender in 2026, they can’t trade the 2026 1st at the 2026 Trade Deadline.
8. Once Ottawa clinches the playoffs in 2026 and they still have their 2026 1st, they can start controlling where the 2026 1st ends up before the playoffs start.
