Is Free Agent David Perron's NHL Career Over?

While we've witnessed the salaries of the NHL's top stars increase exponentially, with the signing of Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar's $20.8 M average annual value contract, there remains an underbelly of serviceable players who are still unsigned .  One of those is veteran David Perron , who was once a part of the misift-era Vegas Golden Knights and played his last season split between the Ottawa Senators (49 games) and Detroit Red Wings (16 games).  The veteran played 64 ...

Brady Tkachuk Speaks Out On Getting Booed In Canada: ‘It’s Great!’

Brady Tkachuk became public enemy No. 1in Ottawa after the Senators captain forced his way into a trade to Florida this off-season. But earlier this year, he had already earned the same status in all of Canada after his performance on the ice and in the aftermath of Team USA defeating Canada for the Gold Medal at the Olympics. He discussed the situation with his brother Matthew on their Wingmen podcast this week. Brady says he was booed in nearly every Canadian arena, and frankly, he says he l...

Every NHL Team's All-Time Starting Lineup

Building an all-time team for each NHL franchise is no easy task. With decades of star players to choose from, narrowing each roster down to just six names creates plenty of difficult decisions. Below, we’ll select one left winger, one center, one right winger, two defensemen, and one goalie for all 32 NHL teams. The […]

3 Top Candidates Named To Replace Tkachuk As Senators New Captain

After the shocking (though not so shocking) trade of Brady Tkachuk earlier this offseason, the Ottawa Senators now have a vacancy at captain. Some of the possibilities might seem obvious, but insider Bruce Garrioch confirmed in the Ottawa Citizen  many of our suspicions by naming the top three candidates to have the 'C' sewn on their jersey.  Defenceman Thomas Chabot is a top candidate to be named the next captain, along with blueliner Jake Sanderson. (Tim) Stutzle’s name has also su...

2026 Panthers Prospect Profile: Simas Ignatavičius

Just when it looked like the Florida Panthers were actually going make a first-round choice or two at the 2026 NHL Draft, they pulled a fast one on us and traded both picks to the Ottawa Senators for Brady Tkachuk and didn’t make their initial selection until early in the second round, when they took forward Simas Ignatavičius 40th overall. Born in Memphis, TN and raised in Lithuania, Ignatavičius became just the fourth player from that country drafted by an NHL team, joining Darius ...

Senators & Batherson Talks Update Not Good News For Ottawa Fans

In recent weeks, it has become clear that the Ottawa Senators and Drake Batherson still have a large gap in extension talks. The latest report from insider Bruce Garrioch  in the Ottawa Citizen does not paint any prettier of a picture for Sens fans.  The two sides would like to come to an agreement. But with the belief  around the league that Batherson could command between $10M - $11M AAV on the open market, his asking price is likely beyond what the Senators would like at this...

New Team Linked to UFA Vladimir Tarasenko

Things have gone quiet recently on the Vladimir Tarasenko front on the free agent market. The UFA has been linked to several teams throughout the offseason, from the incumbent Minnesota Wild, to the Edmonton Oilers to the Ottawa Senators.  Now we can add another Canadian team to the mix, as  Jimmy Murphy and Shayne Gaumond speculated on  The Sick Podcast this week that the Montreal Canadiens would be a perfect fit for the nine-time 20-goal scorer.  Should the #GoHabsGo give...

Two Contenders Linked To Unsigned Vladimir Tarasenko

Over a month into free agency, one of the best remaining scorers on the market is still unsigned, and two teams look like the most logical fits. Vladimir Tarasenko remains a free agent after posting 23 goals and 47 points in 75 games with the Minnesota Wild last season, and both the Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators have been repeatedly linked to him as the market drags into August. Why Edmonton Makes Sense The Oilers connection goes back to a report from Elliotte Friedman shortly after ...
