Former NHL player turned insider Ryan Whitney suggests the Senators might consider trading their captain, Brady Tkachuk. However, Whitney himself questions the wisdom of such a move, given Ottawa's current position in the standings.
While the Senators are nine points out of a playoff spot, with two games in hand, trading Tkachuk at this stage seems premature. At just 24 years old, Tkachuk possesses significant offensive prowess, boasting 25 goals and 22 assists in 55 games.
Despite concerns about Tkachuk's leadership abilities this season, his offensive contribution makes him a valuable asset. If Ottawa does decide to part ways with Tkachuk, expect plenty of interest from other teams.
