State of the teamOttawa traded its captain rather than build around him, and the relationship had soured months earlier. Brady Tkachuk won Olympic gold alongside his brother Matthew in February, and the speculation that followed consumed his last months in Ottawa — Elliotte Friedman reported it affected both the captain and the dressing room. He went to Florida, and to Matthew, for the No. 9 and No. 25 picks, a conditional 2029 first-rounder and a 2027 second, which Ottawa turned into winger William Eklund. The trade closes a chapter in which Ottawa made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in years, finishing with 99 points behind Tim Stützle's 83. But the Senators ran straight into the eventual champions, swept in four games by Carolina in the opening round. A late-season rash of injuries on the blue line — and a midseason signing of veteran goaltender James Reimer to steady the crease — defined the stretch run under coach Travis Green. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.
