3rd Overall: Tim Stuetzle (C/LW), Mannheim (DEL)

With the third overall pick, the Ottawa Senators selected the electric German forward, Tim Stuetzle. He immediately jumps to the top of the team’s prospect pool and adds an element that no other player/prospect on the Senators roster brings. Stuetzle’s combination of speed, skill and agility makes him a treat to watch and a constant threat on the ice for the opposition.

Adding on top of the excitement Jeopardy host Alex Trebek announced the selection with the punchline that Stuetzle and all Senators fans will remember “Who is Tim Stuetzle”:

Stuetzle enjoyed a very solid first season against men in the DEL (Germany’s top men’s league) producing 34 points in 41 games and providing some unreal highlights along the way. He also starred for the German U20 World Junior squad and should be heading back to the tournament in 2021.

In a post-draft interview, Stuetzle relayed that he’d loved to win cups with Ottawa, I love his enthusiasm and the fact he added the plurality.
