Hear from GM and President of Hockey Operations Steve Staios addresses the media after the Ottawa Senators selected Carter Yakemchuk in the first round of the NHL Draft in Las Vegas.
I like the pick… i would've gone with Parekh, but this seems safer.. a talented big body with a mean streak and offensive upside with that big shot is something this team needs badly on the right side.

Great interview. I think that's what we get with this pick, a very high ceiling, one that might be higher than some of the other top end D.

Looks good to me. I've got confidence in Ottawa scouts and upper staff have the intelligence to pick what we need. Good job guys.
Thank the hockey gods we got a RD
Its finally a breath of fresh air to see Ottawa going big and mean on the backend.
“ we don’t draft strictly on position” yes you did buddy
Is Steve Staios Asian? He looks like he has some in his gene.
ottawa won the draft
We need LW
Good pick on defence, a big guy who can clean people out of the crease and has good offensive ability.
