On Monday afternoon, the Edmonton Oilers traded prospect forwards Xavier Bourgault and Jake Chiasson to the Ottawa Senators. The return was prospect forward Roby Jarventie and a fourth-round draft pick in 2025. Jarventie was drafted 33rd overall in 2020. He played seven NHL games for Ottawa, registering one point.
