Who’s next?
As the Ottawa Senators concluded a touching tribute to Chris Neil last night, a thought ran through my mind: which of the team’s current stars might one day find their number hanging from the rafters of the Future Home Arena of the Sens Once They Move to Lebreton?
For this exercise, I am thinking only of players currently on the roster; the debates about the merits of former players is one for another day.
To my thinking, there are four potential candidates for one of the highest honours in hockey:
Brady Tkachuk
If I were to lay odds, Tkachuk would be my current favourite as the most likely to eventually see his number retired.
