The Senators became so annoyed with the rumors that Tkachuk was going to be traded to the Rangers that their owner, Michael Andlauer, dropped a “soft tampering” accusation against the Blueshirts in December. “This is an irresponsible accusation, and we defer to the commissioner’s office,” a Rangers spokesperson said in reply to Andlauer’s comment.

Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk has been the subject of trade rumors throughout the 2024-25 season – but he wants to let the fanbase know he’s not going anywhere.

Brady Tkachuk and the Ottawa Senators were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs after losing 4-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first round.
