Brady Tkachuk Trade Rumors Denied by Senators President: 'Complete B.S.'

It appears Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk is not on the trade block this offseason.

Senators president of hockey operations and general manager Steve Staios pushed back on rumors that the Senators could be interested in moving the 24-year-old, stating that the team is actively trying to build around him.

"Complete B.S.,'' Staios said on Monday, via The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. "We are building this team around Brady. His leadership and unique skill set are rare. There is absolutely no validity to it.''
