Donovan Sebrango

September 2026 – Sebrango was claimed off waivers by Florida from Ottawa in October 2025 and spent the bulk of the year getting extended NHL minutes as injuries struck the Panthers’ blue line, finishing with eight points and 68 penalty minutes across 42 combined NHL appearances. Averaging close to 20 minutes per night late in the year, he began showing some consistency after an uneven February and March – though the production for those minutes was modest. Florida signed Radko Gudas this past offseason to reduce their reliance on depth options, yet re-signed Sebrango to a one-year deal in July nonetheless. Now with his third NHL organization since Detroit drafted him 63rd overall in 2020, he will need to be a dominant presence for Charlotte when he’s there and hold coaching trust long enough to reclaim a regular role. A fringe dynasty hold. Ryan Downey

July 2026 – Sebrango signed a one-year contract to remain with Florida for the 2026-27 season. Chris Babos

October 2025 – The Florida Panthers claimed 23-year-old defenseman Donovan Sebrango off waivers from the Ottawa Senators on October 15, 2025, with the Panthers adding a young, physical defenseman to their roster amid more injuries to their blue line, with the most recent news that Dmitry Kulikov is expected to be out with a long-term injury. Sebrango is a reliable stay-at-home defenseman who brings size and grit. If given the opportunity, it should fit nicely in Florida’s system. He projects as a third-pairing defenseman that can be used on the penalty kill. He will not provide much in fantasy and could see himself as a healthy scratch more nights than not, possibly even seeing the waiver wire later in the 2025-26 season once again. Mark Henry

September 2025 – Sebrango was tendered a qualifying offer on July 1st by the Ottawa Senators, and he agreed to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2025-26 season on September 3, 2025. Sebrango saw a short cup of espresso with the Ottawa Senators in 2024-2025, dressing in two games but providing no offense. He played 50 games for the Baby Sens in Belleville, providing eight goals and 12 assists- 10 of which were secondary- and saw no power play points. Sebrango may fill a depth/injury call-up role, and won’t be someone worth rostering in most leagues at this stage. Alex Wyatt

July 2023 – Sebrango was traded to his hometown Senators as part of the Alex DeBrincat deal. He will likely spend the season in Belleville and has a lot of things to work on to make the NHL. Aaron Itovitch

October 2020 – Sebrango was drafted 63rd overall by the Red Wings. Sebrango is expected to spend another two years in the OHL before turning pro.  Jokke Nevalainen

November 2019 –  Donovan Sebrango is a left-handed defenseman, who has been playing on the right side for the Kitchener Rangers. To date (November 20, 2019), Sebrango has registered one goal and eight assists in 15 games played. Sebrango’s passing is top-notch. He will deliver crisp stretch passes and seam passes. Sebrango will often drive the puck up into the offensive zone. Almost every other shift, you will see Sebrango create a pinch. At times, shot selection can be a challenge for Sebrango and he will shoot the puck into traffic on occasion. In terms of his skating, he always keeps his feet moving, displays solid crossovers and his hockey stop is NHL caliber. Sebrango will likely need a few more seasons in the OHL, before he makes the jump to the AHL/NHL. He will be a second pairing or third pairing defenseman in the NHL someday and will be an asset on an NHL team’s second power-play unit. Josh Tessler
