Tkachuk could truly follow in his brother's footsteps and be traded relatively early in his career.
This possibility has been buzzing over the past few weeks, so it's not entirely new, but it's definitely intensifying.
According to him, in a trade involving Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators would want assets that can help their team immediately, in the short term.
We can obviously think of his brother, Matthew Tkachuk's trade, who moved from the Calgary Flames to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jonathan Huberdeau, Cole Schwindt, defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, and a first-round pick.
Rutherford also adds that the St. Louis Blues could be interested, but it's no surprise because all teams should be interested (including the Montreal Canadiens).
However, it should be noted that the Blues have players like Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, and company, players who could certainly interest the Sens.
Tkachuk, 24 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 225 pounds, was the 4th overall pick by Ottawa in 2018. He has amassed 74 points, including 37 goals, in 81 games this season. (349 points, and 162 goals, in 440 career NHL games)
He earns 8.2 million dollars per year until 2028.
