During the first intermission of the Sens-Flyers game on December 7th, I picked up on something Brady Tkachuk said in an interview with TSN’s Gord Miller. When asked about his love for the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, Tkachuk referenced “Trust the process”, which is basically Philly’s version of “The Kids Are Alright”. It was a running gag with Tkachuk’s teammates in the U.S. Development Program, and he even had it embroidered into the suit he wore to the draft.
The Senators, much like the 76ers a few years ago, are going through the “process” of rebuilding their team, relying on draft picks high in both quality and quantity.
