Where Are These Brady Tkachuk Trade Rumors Coming From?

The Senators want to be players at the deadline, but Brady Tkachuk?

Over the past 24 hours, an interesting rumor is making the rounds on social media. Thanks to the folks over at Spittin’ Chiclets, specifically Ryan Whitney, talk that Brady Tkachuk might be available out of Ottawa is circulating. It’s an odd rumor that has virtually come out of nowhere, but thanks to Whitney’s following and the popularity of that podcast, whispers have turned into conversations.

My first reaction was, no way. My second reaction as a journalist and someone hoping to provide as much accurate information as possible was, ‘I better look into this, just because.’
