Summer Patio Chat: Former Senator Brad Smyth Breaks Down Sens Offseason Questions

Out on the patio, we talk Sens hockey with former Ottawa Senator Brad Smyth.

If you were handed the keys to the Senators for one day, what move would you make? We debate Ottawa's biggest offseason priorities, whether the Carolina Hurricanes' sustained success should influence how we evaluate the Senators, and what the future might hold for some of the organization's top young talent.

We also discuss Don Boyd's recent comments on Carter Yakemchuk, whether Brady Tkachuk's career path could eventually mirror players like Quinn Hughes or Dylan Larkin, and what Darnell Nurse's situation says about today's NHL trade market.

Plus:

🏒 Carter Yakemchuk's development

🏒 Mike Babcock and coaching in today's NHL

🏒 Could Jake Sanderson one day become a Norris Trophy finalist?

🏒 Claude Giroux's next contract and whether it's simply a formality

🏒 Brad's thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final

It's another fun hockey conversation packed with opinions, stories, and plenty of Senators talk.
