The Brady Tkachuk era in Ottawa is over.
In one of the biggest trades in franchise history, the Senators have sent their captain to the Florida Panthers for three first-round picks and a second-rounder.
Now what?
In this emergency episode of Sens Nation, Steve Warne and Gregg Kennedy break down the blockbuster deal, why it happened, and what comes next for the Ottawa Senators.
Among the topics:
π Did the Senators get enough for Brady Tkachuk?
π Why did Steve Staios make this move now?
π Is another major trade coming before Friday's NHL Draft?
π Will Ottawa actually use all three first-round picks?
π Who becomes the next captain of the Senators?
π How will Tim StΓΌtzle and the rest of the core respond?
π What does this mean for the future of the franchise?
The trade has divided the fan base unlike anything we've seen in years. Some are devastated. Others believe this could be the move that finally pushes Ottawa toward becoming a true Stanley Cup contender.
We discuss all of it.
