RUMOR: Brady Tkachuk Hits The Trade Block: Ottawa Senators Shopping Their Captain?
The Ottawa Senators get exposed this morning after insider Ryan Whitney dropped a bombshell regarding their plans with their star player and fan favourite!
Senators reportedly shopping Tkachuk
Another year, another trade rumour regarding a Tkachuk, this time the unexpected one, Brady Tkachuk the Ottawa Senators captain. Ryan Whitney posted a tweet today saying this:
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
In hindsight, it doesn't seem to make sense, but if you begin to think and wonder, why has the Senators core failed so badly this year amid playoff hopes? Something needs to change in Ottawa clearly, and dropping a blockbuster like this for the right price can be beneficial for both parties in a Tkachuk trade.
Obviously, GM Steve Staios has a good head on his shoulders, and won't budge if the offer isn't precisely what they want, but the fact Tkachuk isn't labelled «untouchable» anymore, shows the extents the team is willing to take to be Playoff contenders.
