Brady Tkachuk has taken his talents to South Beach, but are the Senators better off without their former captain or is this the beginning of a retool in Canadas capital? Of the ten teams featured in the How To Fix series this offseason, the Senators are the only one to have made the playoffs last season. Sean McIndoe and Julian McKenzie discuss why that is the case, the strength of the team with the forward group, a defense corps that keeps getting better, and the ongoing sore spot for the Sens in goal.Host: Sean McIndoeWith: Julian McKenzieExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Jeff DometWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VTm9VjkFSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
