Chabot on Tkachuk's Ottawa Exit: 'No Hard Feelings'
Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot says he called Brady Tkachuk after his trade to Florida, wishing him well despite the sting of losing their former captain.
Tkachuk left the Senators for Florida in June, forcing a trade after requesting one.
Chabot said he phoned Tkachuk after the trade went through to wish him well.
By all accounts, the two remain on good terms despite the split.
The comments suggest Ottawa's dressing room has made its peace with losing a former captain, and that Chabot sees the current roster as strong enough to push on without him.
