The Ottawa Senators are pushing for a Stanley Cup Playoff appearance in 2024/25, and now their captain has shut down any trade speculation.

Over the past few years, the Ottawa Senators have time and time come up short of their expectations, and it's led to plenty of trade speculation. Part of that speculation came true when the team moved on from Jakob Chychrun this off-season, but on top of that, there's been whispers of a trade involving captain Brady Tkachuk.

The sens have something cooking right now. Rumor Boys hearing that Ottawa would maybe move Brady Tkachuk. Can't believe it though because no one could be that dumb. 9 points out of playoffs with 2 games in hand

That came from Ryan Whitney of the Spittin Chiclets podcast, with many others speculating the same, and now the captain has addressed all of the rumours on a recent edition of the Locked on Senators podcast.

"[The rumours] are exactly why I got off of social media because these rumours came out of no-where and are not at all how I'm feeling. I've always said that my number one goal is to bring a Stanley Cup back to Ottawa /.../ the dream and the fire to do it burns even more now, the rumours are nowhere near true." Tkachuk said.

The city of Ottawa hasn't seen a Stanley Cup since way back in 1927 with the original team, but after being drafted in the top-10 of the NHL Draft, Tkachuk is determined to lead this team to a title. The talent is certainly there, and now if they can live up to expectations, they may be a dark horse heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2024/25.
