Senators general manager Steve Staios said the team's decision on its vacant captaincy will not be rushed, especially with so many capable players who are ready to fill that void. One of those players, Tim Stützle, reacted to the online comment from Panthers forward Brad Marchand, poking fun at the thought of Stützle being given that role in Ottawa.
The departure of Brady Tkachuk will be an adjustment for the Senators on and off the ice but the players don't hold anything against their former captain for wanting to move on. Even though Tkachuk was a unique player who brought a lot to the team, they are ready to prove they can succeed without him.

TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SportsCentre to share his reaction to the comments made by Wild GM Bill Guerin Tuesday about how Quinn Hughes may not be impacted by the Cale Makar deal, and what that could mean for Hughes' future in Minnesota.

He has a different personality and has different things in his life that are important to him. Who knows what he’s gonna want in the end?”
