What's happening with Ottawa Senators
teams.ie Editorial TeamThe Ottawa Senators' offseason is shaping up as a pivotal moment after another early playoff exit, with star forward Brady Tkachuk at the centre of the drama as he dismisses departure rumours while speculation swirls about his future with the franchise. The club has locked down centre Stephen Halliday to a two-year extension and will be without Ridly Greig for the start of 2026-27 after his two-game suspension for roughing, but all eyes remain on whether captain Tkachuk will commit long-term or force a shake-up. Meanwhile, GM Pierre Dorion is interviewing for the Vancouver Canucks' vacant general manager position, adding another layer of uncertainty to Ottawa's plans heading into the offseason. With the season concluded in disappointment and key personnel decisions looming, the Senators face a critical rebuild if they're to avoid another first-round flame-out.
