One of the biggest questions that has plagued the NHL since Brady Tkachuk requested a trade from the Senators is who will be Ottawa's next captain. TSN Hockey analyst Cameron Gaunce shares who he thinks deserves to wear the "C" in the nations capital, and explains why in The Talking Point.
The Senators are excited about the acquisition of young forward William Eklund, as Drake Batherson and Tim Stützle specifically spoke about potentially playing alongside him in Ottawa.

The Vancouver Canucks announced that the club has signed defenceman Zeev Buium to an eight-year, $75.04 million contract extension that carries an AAV of $9.38 million.
