Brady Tkachuk refutes "frustrating" trade chatter. @hockeyhotstove.bsky.social hockeyhotstove.com/tkachuk-refu...

Unprompted, Brady Tkachuk wanted to thank Senators fans for their support.

Tkachuk on trade chatter: "It's frustrating that I have to dealt with that...I feel like I've said it 100 times...Like I said, it's never come from my mouth."

Tkachuk - "It's tough right now...A lot of it stings right now." Will have a conversation soon with GM Steve Staios to see where the team can improve in challenging for the Cup. Staios is currently attending the U-18 tourney.

Tkachuk re-iterates there's no truth to anything out there of which he desires to leave. He loves being in the Ottawa community.

Brady's wife, Emma gave birth to daughter, Lila 14 hours after the Saturday's game.

Senators Exit Day raises further roster questions. hockeyhotstove.com/senators-exi...

Staios noted he didn't do a good enough job in finding support for Linus Ullmark earlier as far as a backup. Leevi Merilainen had better numbers last season than what was available.

When pressed on facets need to improve, Staios mention the team rose from 31st overall 5-on-5 to ninth.

Steve Staios said the team's slow start contributed to "duress." Senators need to find a level of consistency throughout.

Ridly Greig will have a hearing later this week or next. "I have to get better control of my emotions."

Linus Ullmark said it's up to GM Steve Staios and owner Michael Andlauer to keep his mentor on and off the ice, Maciej Szwoch with the team next season. Szwoch has remained in Ottawa since late-January.

Drake Batherson hasn't put thought into signing an extension as of yet. Will let his agent deal with that.

Eligible to sign an extension July 1, Zub would like to remain in Ottawa.

Artem Zub said he'll need a month to heal his lower-body injury.

Pending RFA Jordan Spence on remaining in Ottawa long-term - "I want to be here."

A pending UFA, if Claude Giroux is to play next season, Ottawa is a priority.

Claude Giroux says he has a lot of things to think about, "It's still fresh."

Stützle said on going to the World Championships, "I can't give an answer right now. I don't think so."

"If we win Game 2, everything is a complete difference." Tim Stützle

On outside noise, Chabot - "All we care about is the guy sitting beside you, across from you..."

Chabot said the broken bone in his arm isn't healed. "Plates and screws got me through it."

Thomas Chabot said his season "was shitty" due to injuries. In the lineup, out, spent the year playing catch up.

Brady Tkachuk will not be speaking today. Congrats to Brady and Emma on the birth of their baby!!
