Dorion said the off-ice focus should be on Melinda Karlsson and her healing process.
"All that we say here, the Ottawa Senators, is Melinda Karlsson is a victim, and we want to support her," he said. "Whoever is behind this should be brought to justice and there's an (ongoing) legal investigation."
Dorion said he believes Boedker will help the Senators.
"We know with the culture that we're aiming to get, [Boedker is] going to fit in that dressing room," Dorion said. "I did talk to one player, not about his hockey abilities, but about him as a person who played with him, [Senators center] Matt Duchene, and Matt's words to us were, 'He's a great guy, he's perfect for our room and the culture that we're trying to build.'"
Ottawa has the No. 4 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, which begins Friday at American Airlines Center in Dallas (7:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN, TVAS). The Senators can give that pick to the Colorado Avalanche to complete the trade that brought them Duchene, or could keep it and give Colorado their first-round pick in 2019.
The Senators also pick No. 22, acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in a trade for forward Derick Brassard.
"We went through scenarios through the morning," Dorion said. "It was one of the best meetings I've had with scouts in 20 years talking about what we plan on doing at 4, what possibilities are at 22, how these players will impact our organization moving forward.
"We're just excited. We suffered this year. There's no doubt we suffered as a team with the number of losses. But the one good thing is we know we're getting a really good player here."
