Paul signed with Ottawa and made his professional debut with their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Senators in the 2014–15 season. He finished with six goals and 11 assists in 45 games with Binghamton. Paul was assigned to Binghamton by Ottawa for the 2015–16 season also. Paul was called up in February 2016 and made his NHL debut on February 16, 2016, against the Buffalo Sabres.[2] He recorded his first career NHL goal on February 24, 2016, in a 4–1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.[3]
On July 16, 2018, Paul signed a one year contract with the Senators.[4] On July 2, 2019, Paul re-signed with the Senators for another season.[5]
