Origin
and identity

Daniel Alfredsson grew from an overlooked draft choice into the defining captain of Ottawa's modern Senators.

A sixth-round selection offered little indication of the influence to come. Alfredsson immediately won the Calder Trophy, then gave Ottawa dependable scoring and an identity as the young franchise developed into a contender.

His game linked attack with responsibility, and his leadership survived the pressure of deep playoff runs. The 2007 Stanley Cup Final and Sweden's Olympic triumph remain the clearest stages for that complete contribution.
