The Ottawa Senators aren\u2019t trading Brady Tkachuk unless they absolutely should<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Network<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman, when asked in regards to the Ottawa Senators and Brady Tkachuk<\/a> and if there\u2019s anything recent. Friedman doesn\u2019t think the Senators would consider it unless he involves them and tells them he wants to maneuver on.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I just think, I just think that I, in case you hearken to Ottawa this week, they\u2019re not doing it. They are usually not doing it until they’re absolutely told they should do it. And the Senators are sensitive about it, and clearly, Tkachuk is sensitive about it.<\/p>\n

Could Quinn Hughes Eventually Sign an Extension with the Minnesota Wild?<\/a><\/p>\n

And until, the best way I have a look at it’s, the Ottawa Senators are usually not trading this player unless they’re told they absolutely should. And so I’m going at it in that way, Brian, until the Senators are informed, or in the event that they\u2019re informed, they should do it. They\u2019re just not doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three potential daring moves the Nashville Predators could consider<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean<\/strong><\/a>: The Nashville Predators are still looking for their next GM. Other than some free agent decisions they\u2019ll should make shortly after they\u2019re hired, listed below are three daring move they might consider.<\/p>\n

Buyout out Jonathan Marchessault<\/a>? Things haven\u2019t worked out as either side had hoped. Finding a trade partner could be ideal, but he has three years left at $5.5 million. A buyout would save the Predators $1.2 million off his cap next yr, two years of $2.3 million savings, after which only a $961,000 cap hit for years 4 through six. Matt Duchene<\/a>\u2018s dead cap space goes all the way down to $1.5 million next yr.<\/p>\n

Trade for Philadelphia Flyers\u2019 Matvei Michkov<\/a> \u2013 His numbers dropped this past season under Rick Tocchet<\/a>. Could the Predators entice the Flyers with a 2026 first and third-round pick, and 2023 first-round pick Tanner Molendyk?<\/p>\n

Send a proposal sheet to Dallas Stars\u2019 Jason Robertson<\/a> \u2013 Robertson can be on the lookout for some around $12 million, and it wouldn\u2019t be easy for the Stars to match. A suggestion sheet between $9.3 and $11.7 million costs two first-round picks, a second and a 3rd. Over $11.7 million is 4 first-round picks.<\/p>\n
