Brady Tkachuk was reportedly on the trade market
Amidst high hopes, the Ottawa Senators entered the 2023-24 season aiming for a playoff breakthrough, but their aspirations fell flat.
The team's disappointing performance led to significant upheaval, including the departure of general manager Pierre Dorion and head coach D.J. Smith. Sitting in seventh place in the Atlantic Division, the Senators face a critical juncture as they contemplate their future direction.
Speculation swirls around potential changes, particularly in coaching leadership, as Ottawa seeks stability. Yet, the most surprising revelation emerged with reports of the team exploring a trade involving Brady Tkachuk, their influential captain.
According to Andy Strickland on the Cam and Strick podcast, the Ottawa Senators reportedly kicked tires on a Brady Tkachuk trade «just to see what they could get in return.»
While trading Tkachuk would signal a seismic shift, other prominent players like Thomas Chabot and Jakob Chychrun could also be on the radar for potential moves.
With the offseason looming, anticipation mounts as Ottawa navigates a pivotal period of reevaluation and strategic planning, aiming to revitalize their fortunes for the upcoming season.
