Senators have massive offer on table for Tkachuk

According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, the Ottawa Senators have offered Brady Tkachuk an eight-year, $64 million contract.

Tkachuk, 21, is currently a restricted free agent as he has played out the three years in his entry-level contract. While his offensive totals to this point don't suggest he is worth a contract that lucrative, he brings plenty of intangibles and is undoubtedly the leader of the Senators' bright young core. In 56 games last season, he scored 17 goals while putting up a team leading 36 points, along with 69 penalty minutes.

Tkachuk has been a member of the Senators organization since he was selected fourth overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He has played in 198 career games to this point, scoring 60 goals and 125 points. Hopefully for him, the organization, and its fans, a deal can be signed soon here so that he is able to be at training camp when it begins in less than two weeks.
