The Edmonton Oilers sent 2021 first-round draft pick Xavier Bourgault and fellow forward Jake Chiasson to the Ottawa Senators, getting forward Roby Jarventie and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick in exchange on Monday.
Bourgault, picked No. 22 in the draft, hasn’t met expectations. Last season, he fought a shoulder injury while playing in 55 games for the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL, posting 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 55 games. That total was down from 34 points in 62 games the previous year.
The 21-year-old has yet to play on NHL ice.
Chiasson, also 21, was Edmonton’s fourth-round selection in the 2021 draft. He appeared in 68 games last season for the Fort Wayne Komets of the ECHL, recording 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists).
Jarventie, 21, is a prospect from Finland, selected in the second round (No. 33 overall) of the 2020 draft by the Senators.
He appeared in seven games for Ottawa, tallying one assist. His season was cut short by a knee injury, and he also played in 22 games for the Belleville Senators of the AHL, contributing 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists).
