That doesn’t mean he’s going to have a quiet off-season.

Not only will the Ottawa Senators’ general manager sit down with the club’s scouting staff next Monday at the Canadian Tire Centre to get ready for the NHL draft June 22-23 in Dallas, Dorion also has to focus on getting some of the club’s free agents under contract this summer.

The Senators learned Saturday they’re going to get the No. 4 pick in the draft after the lottery was held and they’re confident they’ll get a good player.

“We’re excited that we’re at No. 4 and we feel that the top 10 have a chance to be real good impact players down the road,” Dorion told TSN 1200 in an interview Tuesday afternoon. “Whether we take a forward or a defenceman, we’re definitely going to take the best player that we feel can help us win the most in either short-, medium- or even long-term.”
