Summary
Steve Staios said Monday Ottawa does not plan to rebuild after sending Brady Tkachuk to Florida, pushing back on concerns that the move signals a retreat.
Draft picks coming back in Sunday’s trade fueled questions about the Senators’ direction, but the general manager said he wanted no one “misled” about the club’s intent.
The comments frame the Tkachuk deal as a retool rather than a reset, with Ottawa insisting it still expects to compete after moving one of its biggest stars.
