Senators Eye Robertson as Tkachuk Replacement
22 Jun
Summary
- Senators traded Brady Tkachuk for four draft picks.
- Ottawa is pursuing Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars.
- Robertson scored 45 goals and 51 assists last season.
The Ottawa Senators have made a significant move by trading Brady Tkachuk in exchange for four draft picks. This blockbuster deal has positioned the Senators to pursue Jason Robertson, a prominent goal scorer from the Dallas Stars.
Sources indicate that Ottawa is making a strong effort to acquire Robertson. The Senators' preferred approach is a sign-and-trade agreement to avoid a bidding war for the restricted free agent. If negotiations fail and Robertson reaches July 1 as an RFA, Ottawa might extend a substantial offer sheet.
Robertson is coming off a season where he recorded an impressive 45 goals and 51 assists. His potential acquisition would significantly boost the Senators' offensive power as they aim to improve after a disappointing previous season.
