Brady Tkachuk has a sore wrist. We've been wondering if the Senators' captain would need surgery… and it looks like the answer to that is becoming clearer: yes, he should. Bruce Garrioch, who has been covering the club for a long time, would be surprised to hear otherwise.

Obviously, life without Brady Tkachuk won't be easy. Can the Sens, who lost yesterday in Buffalo by giving up eight goals, recover from that? content-ads]What won't be simple, for the Sens, is that the club doesn't have its first-round pick in the 2026 draft because of the Evgenii Dadonov story.

We remember that, right?So not only will the Sens have no reason to tank (and may not have the club to succeed in moving up in the standings), but they're also missing a big resource to try to pick up reinforcements on the trade market.Ouch.

Are we putting the cart before the horse here? Possibly, yes. But at the same time, it's clear that these discussions are taking place on the second floor in Kanata. Let's just say that the guys on the ice had better get up quickly so that the season doesn't get off to a rocky start.
