For the first time since 2017, the Senators made the playoffs this past season, and even though they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Toronto Leafs, there was one player who was “satisfied” to see his club progress: Brady Tkachuk.

We’re talking about Brady Tkachuk, who wears the “C” on his jersey in Ottawa, and we know that he gives a lot on the ice. But knowing that he’d never had the chance to play in the playoffs before last season… it must have been frustrating. Bruce Garrioch said it best on TSN(One Drive): there would have been a lot of frustration in the Tkachuk camp if the Sens hadn’t been able to participate in the spring dance. That said, you have to wonder if it really makes a difference…

[content-ads] A team’s success can change a player’s mentality.

Because there’s no doubt that constantly losing, not being able to enjoy good moments collectively and seeing the club go nowhere… it can be frustrating for a professional athlete. Especially for a guy who gives his all every night for the team logo. That said, at 25 – 26 in September – Tkachuk will (already) be in his eighth full season in the National League. He wants to start being able to win, and even though the Sens have booked their ticket to the recent playoffs, the team needs to be able to enjoy more success if they hope to keep him in Canada. We know that too, after all: Tkachuk is proud to be from the United States, and the idea of playing for a club in the States must be appealing. Much as it was with his brother Matthew, who has won two Stanley Cups and played in three Finals since arriving in Florida… That said, Brady still has three years left on his contract ($8,205,714 per season) in Ottawa, and the Sens had better start moving if they don’t want to see him leave, either by trade or via the free agent market….
