A few days ago, we were advancing in a column that the Senators would be very open to trading their captain, Brady Tkachuk. This rumor, coming from former NHL player Ryan Whitney, mentioned that a major trade was in preparation.
Far from silencing the rumors, Renaud Lavoie added to the topic during a recent appearance on the JiC show on TVA Sports. He claimed that there was not only a lot of noise around Tkachuk, but that the cloud of this noise has been hovering over the team since the start of the season.
Lavoie began to wonder who would benefit from leaking this information? His idea is that Keith Tkachuk, Brady's father who currently works for the St. Louis Blues, would like to bring his son to town.
However, one thing seems to be clear from Ottawa's side, there is dissatisfaction in the air. Lavoie is certain that something is brewing in the federal capital and if it's not Tkachuk leaving, other big decisions will come.
