Speculation Swirls as Ottawa Senators Consider Trading Captain Brady Tkachuk
The Ottawa Senators have faced numerous challenges this season, falling short of preseason playoff expectations. However, their recent shootout victory against the Vegas Golden Knights hints at a potential turnaround in the making.
Insider and former NHL player
Ryan Whitney suggests that the Senators might be considering trading their captain,
Brady Tkachuk.
«The sens have something cooking right now. Rumor Boys hearing that Ottawa would maybe move Brady Tkachuk. Can't believe it though because no one could be that dumb. 9 points out of playoffs with 2 games in hand»
Despite this speculation, rushing to trade Tkachuk would seem premature for Ottawa's front office, especially considering their slim chance of securing a playoff spot, sitting 9 points out with 2 games in hand.
Tkachuk, at just 24 years old, possesses considerable offensive prowess, amassing 25 goals and 22 assists for a total of 47 points in 55 games this season. While questions have arisen about his leadership abilities, his on-ice performance remains impressive.
In essence, should Ottawa decide to part ways with Brady Tkachuk, potential suitors would undoubtedly be eager to make offers.
