Breaking Down the Brady Trade and the Senators' Next Steps

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert kick things off with Frank Seravalli (1:20) for another edition of Frank Or Fiction! They discuss Brady Tkachuk joining his brother in Florida, why notable American players leave Canadian teams, if Connor Hellebuyck could be next, how the raised cap will change roster construction, whether the Senators will trade the picks to add a star player, and much more. They also discuss how NHL GMs view the current trade market, whether the Leafs are done making moves, the 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame Class, and much more. Then, with the NHL Draft at the end of the week, Jason Bukala (25:30) joins the show to discuss the Tkachuk trade and how Ottawa will approach either drafting or trading its newly acquired picks, whether we will see a superteam in the NHL, who is at the top of his draft rankings, and much more!
