NHL expert Jeremy Rutherford has mentioned that there are talks about trading Tkachuk, indicating a change for the Senators and their leader. Since Tkachuk became captain, the Senators have not made it to the playoffs. It appears that Brady Tkachuk, son of Keith Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk's brother might be moving on.
It's no surprise that the St. Louis Blues are being mentioned as a contender. Given their history of bringing in players in their mid 20s during rebuilding phases, especially since Brady is the son of Blues icon Keith Tkachuk.
