Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Ottawa Senators pending restricted free agent forward Brady Tkachuk isn’t worried about his contract negotiations that will be handled by Craig Oster of Newport Sports,
Tkachuk said on Cam Janssen‘s and Andy Strickland’s podcast that talks haven’t started yet.
“We haven’t really started to talk yet,” Tkachuk told the podcast. “So, I’m going to give you the hockey answer and then I’m going to give you the real answer. I will let my agent and Pierre figure it out.”
It’s expected that the Senators will make Tkachuk an eight-year contract offer, and it could come with the captaincy.
