The Ottawa Senators and the Edmonton Oilers kicked off the week with a trade involving young players and a draft pick.
This exchange involves young players in need of a fresh start in a new organization. Quebec native Xavier Bourgault appeared stuck in the American Hockey League after being a first-round pick in 2021.
The forward could have a better opportunity to establish himself in the NHL with the Ottawa Senators. Jake Chiasson is also part of this trade heading to Ottawa.
The Oilers are taking a gamble on Roby Jarventie, a sizable Finnish winger with promising potential.
