Round 4, 106th Overall: Marcus Sorensen (LW), Södertälje SK J20 (SuperElit)

Career Stats (NHL): GP: 197 G: 30 A: 29 P: 59

The speedy winger out of Sweden has carved out a successful career for himself, though not with the Senators. Drafted as an 18-year old, Sorensen didn’t end up leaving Sweden until he was 24 when he joined the San Jose Sharks organization.

Despite enjoying a few successful seasons in Sweden’s second league (Allsvenksan), Sorensen was never signed by Ottawa and was eventually a free agent after not being signed to an Entry-Level contract in 2012.

Sorensen was linked to NHL teams following a successful season with Djurgårdens IF in the SHL, where he produced 34 points in 47 games. With the speed and offensive skill the former Senators draft pick brought, teams were confident he could potentially fill a bottom-six role.

Hot. Byfield AND Stützle? It’s (slightly) more likely than you think. light

From 2016-2018, Sorensen was up and down between the Sharks AHL affiliate and the NHL squad but became a full-time NHLer in the 2018-19 season. Nabbing 17 goals and 30 points while playing 80 games and also appearing in 18 games in the Sharks run to the Western Conference Final. Sorensen would go on to sign a 2-year $3 million contract on January 14th, 2019.

Regardless if he played a game for Ottawa, they still selected a capable NHL talent in the fourth round.
