Travis Green Was 'A Little Bit' Mad About Tkachuk News, Jordan Spence Says It Will Make Them Better

We've got plenty to break down in this episode of the Jim Keay Ford Sens Nation Podcast.Travis Green spoke publicly about Brady Tkachuk's departure, admitting he was "a little bit mad" and "a little bit surprised" by the captain's decision to leave Ottawa.

We discuss Green's comments and whether Jordan Spence is right when he says Tkachuk's exit could actually make the Senators a better team.

We also dive into the blockbuster contract signed by Macklin Celebrini in San Jose. At just 20 years old, Celebrini lands a five-year deal worth $18.8 million per season. What does that mean for the next wave of NHL stars, and just how fortunate are the Senators that Tim Stützle and Jake Sanderson signed long-term extensions before salaries exploded?

Speaking of Sanderson, Boston Bruins star Charlie McAvoy had some glowing praise for Ottawa's No. 1 defenceman on the Wingmen Podcast
